Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb,
Wake every heart and every tongue
To praise the Saviour's Name.
Sing of His dying love ;
Sing of His rising power ;
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.
Sing, till we feel our hearts
Ascending with our tongues ;
Sing, till the love of sin departs,
And grace inspires our songs.
Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransom'd sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In Christ the eternal King.
Soon shall ye hear Him say,
Ye blessed children, come ;
Soon will He call you hence away,
And take his wanderers home.
Soon shall our raptur'd tongue
His endless praise proclaim;
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.
