African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal ‎#15

15. Awake, and Sing the Song

1 Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Tune every heart and every tongue
To praise the Savior's name.

2 Sing of His dying love;
Sing of His rising power;
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.

3 Tell, in seraphic strains,
What He has done for you;
How He has taken off your chains
And formed your hearts anew.

4 His faithfulness proclaim
While life to you is given:
Join hands and hearts to praise His name
Till we all meet in heaven.

Amen.
