The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns ‎#XIII

XIII. Awake, and sing the song

1 Awake, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Wake every Heart and ev'ry Tongue,
To praise the Saviour's Name.

2 Sing of his dying Love,
Sing of his rising Pow'r,
Sing how he intercedes above,
For those whose sins he bore.

3 Sing till we feel our Hearts
Ascending with our Tongues,
Sing till the love of Sin departs,
And grace inspires our Songs.

4 Sing on your Heav'nly Way,
Ye ransom'd Sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing ev'ry Day
In Christ th' eternal King.

5 Sing till you hear Christ say,
Your Sins are all forgiv'n;
Sing on rejoicing ev'ry day,
Till we all meet in Heavn'n.

6 Soon shall ye hear Christ say,
"Ye blessèd Children, come:"
Soon will he call you hence away,
And take his Wand'rers home.
