Hymn #175
Awake, Ye Saints
Lyrics
Verse 1
Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love,
That shows salvation nigh;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love,
That shows salvation nigh.
Verse 2
Swift on the wings of time it flies;
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year;
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year.
Verse 3
Not many years their round shall run,
Not many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes;
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.
Verse 4
Ye wheels of nature, speed your course!
Ye mortal powers, decay!
Haste! till the last glad morning rise
That brings eternal day;
Haste! till the last glad morning rise
That brings eternal day.
