Text:Awake, and sing the song
Author:William Hammond
Tune:FESTAL SONG
Composer:William H. Walter

121. Awake, and sing the song

1 Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake every heart and every tongue
To praise the Saviour's name.

2 Sing of His dying love;
Sing of His rising power,
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.

3 Sing, till we feel your hearts
Ascending with your tongue;
Sing, till the love of sin depart,
And grace inspire your song.

4 Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In Christ, th'eternal King.

5 Soon shall your raptured tongue
In heaven His praise proclaim.
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.

Amen.
