Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes
1
Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes;See where thy foes against thee rise,In long array, a numerous host;Awake, my soul! or thou art lost.
2
See where rebellious passions rage,And fierce desires and lusts engage;The meanest foe of all the trainHas thousands and ten thousands slain.
3
Thou treadest on enchanted ground;Perils and snares beset thee round;Beware of all, guard every part—But most the traitor in thy heart.
4
The terror and the charm repel,The powers of earth, and powers of hell;The Man of Calvary triumphed here;Why should his faithful followers fear?
5
Come then, my soul! now learn to wieldThe weight of thine immortal shield;Put on the armor, from above,Of heavenly truth and heavenly love.
