10587. Awake In Jesus

1 Awake in Jesus—O how blest
To be forever on His breast;
No sorrow now, and no more tears,
But peace and joy that banish fears.

Refrain:
Awake in Jesus, awake in Jesus,
To bear His likeness forevermore.

2 Awake in Jesus—sweetest frame,
To feel His breath like living flame;
And hear my loving Father say,
Now all thy tears are wiped away. [Refrain]

3 Awake in Jesus—heav’nly light,
Whose presence drives away my night;
Who bids me all His glory trace,
And see my Savior face to face. [Refrain]
