Lyics

AWAKE, my soul-stretch every nerve,

And press with vigor on:

A heavenly race demands thy zeal,

A bright, immortal crown.



'Tis God's all-animating voice

That calls thee from on high;

'Tis his own hand presents the prize'

To thine aspiring eye.



A cloud of witnesses around

Hold 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, crowned with victory, at thy feet

We'll lay our laurels down.
