Tune: | [Come, O my soul, my ev'ry power awaking] |
Composer: | Jno. R. Sweney |
1 Come, O my soul, my ev'ry power awaking,
Look unto Him whose goodness crowns thy days;
While into song angelic choirs are breaking,
Oh, let thy voice its thankful tribute raise.
Chorus:
Tell how alone the path of death he trod;
Tell how he lives, thy Advocate with God;
Lift up thy voice, while heaven’s triumphant throng
Swell at his feet the everlasting song.
2 Think, O my soul, now patiently he sought thee,
Far, far away upon the mountain steep,
Then in His arms how tenderly he brought thee
Home to his fold, a weary, wand'ring sheep.
[Chorus]
3 Sing, O my soul, and let thy pure devotion
Rise to his throne,--thy Saviour, Friend, and Guide;
Sing of his love, that, like a mighty ocean,
Flows unto thee, and all the world beside. [Chorus]
4 Soon, O my soul, thy earthly house forsaking,
Soon shalt thou rise the better land to see;
Then wilt thy harp, a noble strain awaking,
Praise him who died to purchase life for thee. [Chorus]
