The Hymnal ‎#153

153. Awake, and sing the song

1 Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake 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 Sing, till we feel our hearts
Ascending with our tongues;
Sing, till the love of sin departs,
And grace inspires our songs.

4 Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In Christ the Eternal King.

5 Soon shall ye hear Him say,
"Ye blessed children, come."
Soon will He call you hence away,
And take His wanderers home.

Amen.
