Come, O my soul,
my ev’ry pow’r awaking,
Look unto Him Whose
goodness crowns thy days;
While into song
angelic choirs are breaking,
O let thy voice its thankful tribute bring.
Tell how alone the
path of death He trod;
Tell how He lives,
thine Advocate with God;
Lift up thy voice,
while Heav’n’s triumphant throng,
Swell at His feet the everlasting song.
Think, O my soul,
now patiently He sought thee,
Far, far away upon the mountain steep;
Then in His arms how tenderly
He brought thee,
Home to His fold,
a weary, wand’ring sheep.
Tell how alone the
path of death He trod;
Tell how He lives,
thine Advocate with God;
Lift up thy voice,
while Heav’n’s triumphant throng,
Swell at His feet the everlasting song.
Sing, O my soul,
and let thy pure devotion
Rise to His throne, thy Savior,
Friend, and Guide;
Sing of His love that,
like a mighty ocean,
Flows unto thee,
and all the world beside.
Tell how alone the
path of death He trod;
Tell how He lives,
thine Advocate with God;
Lift up thy voice,
while Heav’n’s triumphant throng,
Swell at His feet the everlasting song.
Soon, O my soul,
thine earthly house forsaking,
Soon shalt thou rise
the better world to see;
Then will thy harp,
a nobler strain awaking,
Praise Him Who died
to purchase life for thee.
Tell how alone the
path of death He trod;
Tell how He lives,
thine Advocate with God;
Lift up thy voice,
while Heav’n’s triumphant throng,
Swell at His feet the everlasting song.
