Lyics

AWAKE, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,

And press with vigor on;

A heav'nly race demands your zeal,

And an immortal crown.



'Tis God's all-animating voice

That calls thee from on high;

'Tis his own hand presents the prize

To mine aspiring eye.



A cloud of witnesses around

Holds thee in full survey;

Forget the steps already trod,

And onward urge thy way.



Blest Saviour, introduced by thee,

Have we our race begun;

And crown'd with vict'ry at thy feet

We'll lay our honors down.
