Awake, O Sleeper
For Your Gift of God the Spirit
Author: Margaret Clarkson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 4:30 Lyrics: 1 For your gift of God the Spirit,
power to make our lives anew,
pledge of life and hope of glory,
Savior, we would worship you.
Crowning gift of resurrection
sent from your ascended throne,
fullness of the very Godhead,
come to make your life our own.
2 He who in creation's dawning
brooded on the lifeless deep,
still across our nature's darkness
moves to wake our souls from sleep,
moves to stir, to draw, to quicken,
thrusts us through with sense of sin;
brings to birth and seals and fills us
saving Advocate within.
3 He, himself the living Author,
wakes to life the sacred Word,
reads with us its holy pages
and reveals our risen Lord.
He it is who works within us,
teaching rebel hearts to pray,
he whose holy intercessions
rise for us both night and day.
4 He, the mighty God, indwells us;
his to strengthen, help, empower;
his to overcome the tempter
ours to call in danger's hour.
In his strength we dare to battle
all the raging hosts of sin,
and by him alone we conquer
foes without and foes within.
5 Father, grant your Holy Spirit
in our hearts may rule today,
grieved not, quenched not, but unhindered,
work in us his sovereign way.
Fill us with your holy fullness,
God the Father, Spirit, Son;
in us, through us, then, forever,
shall your perfect will be done.

that leads me at last to heaven. Topics: Aspiration; Forgiveness; Guidance; Holy Spirit renewing; Walking with God; Witness; Worship Used With Tune: BEATITUDO Text Sources: Hymns for Today's Church, 1982, rev.

the grave as little as my bed;

rise glorious at the awesome day.

and may sweet sleep mine eyelids close, --
sleep that may me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.

my soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
no powers of darkness me molest.

By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.

In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong;
4 In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way;
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.
