Lyics

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve,
And press with vigor on;
A heavenly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown,
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,
To mine aspiring eye.


A cloud of witnesses around,
Holds thee in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way,
And onward urge thy way.


Blest Savior, introduced by thee,
Have we our race begun;
And crowned with victory at thy feet,
We'll lay our honors down,
We'll lay our honors down.
