Awake, my heart! my soul, arise!
1
Awake, my heart! my soul, arise!This is the day believers prize;Improve this Sabbath, then, with care;Another may not be thy share.
2
O, solemn thought! Lord, give me power,Wisely to fill up every hour;O for the wings of faith and loveTo bear my longing heart above!
3
Jesus, assist, nor let me failTo worship thee within the vail,To glorify thy matchless grace,To see the beauties of thy face.
4
Be with me in thy house to-day,And tune my heart to praise and pray;Command thy word to fall like dew,Refreshing, quickening all anew.
5
Call forth my thoughts, and let them roveO'er the green pastures of thy love;O let not sin prevent my rest,Nor keep me from my Saviour's breast.
