Awake, and sing the song

Of Moses and the Lamb!

Wake every heart and every tongue

To praise the Savior's Name.

Sing of his dying love!

Sing of his rising power!

Sing how he intercedes above

For those whose sins he bore!

Sing on your heavenly way!

Ye ransomed 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.

There shall our raptured tongue

His endless praise proclaim,

And sweeter voices swell the song

Of glory to the Lamb.
