LyicsAWAKE, awake the sacred song
To our incarnate Lord!
Let every heart and every tongue
Adore th' eternal Word!
That awful Word, that sovereign power,
By whom the worlds were made-
O happy morn! illustrious hour!
Was once in fresh arrayed!
Then shone almighty power and love,
In all their glorious forms
When Jesus left his throne above,
To dwell with sinful worms.
Adoring angels turned their songs
To hail the joyful day;
With rapture, then, let mortal tongues
Their grateful worship pay.
