LyicsAwake, you saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Awake, and praise that sov'reign love
That shows salvation nigh.
On all the wings of time it flies;
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day!
Welcome each closing year!
Not many years their round shall run,
Not many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand reveal'd
To our admiring eyes.
You wheels of nature, speed your course;
You mortal powers decay;
Fast as you bring the night of death,
You bring eternal day.
