LyicsAwake, my heart, my soul arise,
This is the day believers prize;
Improve this Sabbath, then with care,
Another may not be thy share.
O solemn thought! Lord, give me pow'r,
Wisely to fill up ever hour;
O for the wings of faith and love,
To bear my heart and soul above.
Jesus, assist, nor let me fail
To worship thee within the veil;
To glorify thy matchless grace,
To see the beauties of thy face.
Go with me to thy house today,
And tune my heart to praise and pray;
Like dew, command thy word to fall,
Refreshing, quickening, saving all.
Call forth my tho'ts, and let them rove
O'er the dear pastures of thy love;
O let not sin prevent my rest,
Nor keep me from my Saviour's breast.
Give to thy church a large increase,
Send her prosperity and peace;
May all the saints in Zion say,
O happy, happy, happy day!
