There are two distinct songs with this first line.

First Hymn:

1 Awake, O sleeper, rise from death,
  and Christ shall give you light,
  so learn his love— its length and breadth,
  its fullness, depth, and height.

2 To us on earth he came to bring
  from sin and fear release,
  to give the Spirit's unity,
  the very bond of peace.

3 There is one Body and one hope,
  one Spirit and one call,
  one Lord, one Faith, and one Baptism,
  one Father of us all.

4 Then walk in love as Christ has loved,
  who died that he might save;
  with kind and gentle hearts forgive
  as God in Christ forgave.
  
5 For us Christ lived, for us he died
  and conquered in the strife.
  Awake, arise, go forth in faith,
  and Christ shall give you life.
  

Second Hymn:
  
1. Awake, O sleeper, rise from death,
   for Christ will be your life.
   Awake, the Spirit gives you breath; 
   Christ Jesus gives you life.

2. Awake, O sleeper, rise from sin,
   for Christ will make you whole.
   Awake, the Spirit enters in;
   Christ Jesus makes you whole.
    
3. Arise, O sleeper, greet the day,
   for Christ will be your light.
   The Spirit leads you on love's way,
   Christ Jesus is your light.

4. Arise, O sleeper, greet the spring,
   for Christ will be your song.
   The Spirit bids you dance and sin,
   Christ Jesus is your song.
