Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: Worship and Song. (Rev. ed.) #O60 (1921) First Line: Awake, glad soul, awake, awake Lyrics: 1 Awake, glad soul! awake! awake!
Thy Lord has risen long;
Go to His grave, and with thee take
Both tuneful heart and song;
Where life is waking all around,
Where love’s sweet voices sing,
The first bright blossom may be found
Of an eternal spring.
2 And every bird and every tree,
And every opening flower,
Proclaim His glorious victory,
His resurrection power;
The folds are glad, the fields rejoice,
With vernal beauty spread,
The little hills lift up their voice
And shout that death is dead.
3 Then wake, glad heart! awake! awake
And seek thy risen Lord;
Joy in His resurrection take,
And comfort in his word;
And let thy life, through all its ways,
One long thanksgiving be,
Its theme of joy, its song of praise,
‘Christ died, and rose for me.’ Tune Title: FLORA
Awake, Glad Soul
