Text: | Gracious Redeemer, shake |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | MORNINGTON |
Composer: | G. C. W. Mornington |
1 Gracious Redeemer, shake
This slumber from my soul!
Say to me now, "Awake, awake!
And Christ shall make thee whole!"
2 Touch with thy mighty hand;
Alarm me in this hour;
And make me fully understand
My danger and thy power.
3 Give me on thee to call,
Always to watch and pray,
Lest I into temptation fall,
And cast my shield away.
4 For each assault prepared
And ready may I be;
Forever standing on my guard,
And looking up to thee.
5 O do thou always warn
My soul of evil near;
When to the right or left I turn,
Thy voice still let me hear:
6 "Come back! this is the way;
Come back and walk therein;"
O may I hearken and obey,
And shun the paths of sin.
