LyicsLet us awake our joys;
Strike up with cheerful voice;
Each creature sing;
Angels, begin the song,
Mortals the strain prolong,
In accents sweet and strong,
Jesus is King.
Proclaim abroad his name;
Tell of his matchless fame,
What wonders done:
Above, beneath, around,
Let all the earth resound,
Till heaven's high arch resound,
"The victory won."
Come, all ye saints of God;
Wide through the earth abroad
Spread Jesus' fame;
Tell what his love hath done,
Trust in his name alone,
Shout to his lofty throne,
"Worthy the Lamb."
Hence, gloomy doubts and fears;
Dry up your mournful tears,
Swell the glad theme;
Praise ye our gracious King
Strike each melodious string;
Join heart and voice to sing,
"Worthy the Lamb."
Hark! how the choirs above,
Fill'd with the Saviour's love,
Dwell on his name!
There too may we be found,
With light and glory crown'd,
While all the heavens resound,
"Worthy the Lamb."
