Juvenile Choir ‎#20

20. Awake! my heart, awake!

1 Awake! my heart, awake!
Thy gracious God to praise;
Who condescends such care to take,
And lengthens out my days.

2 While some have passed the night
In restlessness and pain;
I rise in health to see the light,
And seek the Lord again.

3 This day will many die!
This hour what numbers go!
What if my soul be called to fly,
And I that change should know!

4 Lord, come and be my guide
Through this uncertain space;
Keep me for ever near thy side,
And grant a child thy grace.
