Lyics

AWAKE and sing the song

Of Moses and the Lamb!

Wake, ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue,

To praise the Saviour's name.



Sing of His dying love!

Sing of His rising pow'r!

Sing how He intercedes above

For those whose sins He bore!



Sing on your heav'nly way,

You ransom'd sinners, sing;

Sing on, rejoicing every day

In Christ, the glorious King.



Soon shall you hear Him say,

"You blessed children, come!"

Soon will He call you hence away,

And take His pilgrims home.
