The Glad Refrain for the Sunday School ‎#55

55. Awake, O Voice of Music

1 Awake, O voice of music,
Awake, O harp of love,
And tell how stars of morning
Gave praise to God above;
Tell how the mighty angels
Sang forth the birth of time,
Proclaimed Jehovah’s greatness,
His majesty sublime.

Refrain:
Awake, Awake, O harp of love;
Forever and forever
Give praise to God above.

2 Awake the song of ages,
That rolled along the sky
When legions veiled in glory
Sang praise to God on high;
What full and free salvation
Was brought to all mankind,
Through Him, the Lord’s anointed,
Who came the lost to find. [Refrain]

3 Awake the song triumphant
That filled the gates of light,
When Christ the Lord arising
Dispelled the gloom of night;
O song of joy unbounded!
O song that ne’er shall cease!
He died, He rose, He conquered,
He lives, the Prince of Peace. [Refrain]
