98. Awake, O Heart of Mine

1 Awake, awake, O heart of mine,
Sing praise to God above;
Take up the song of endless years,
And shout redeeming love;
Redeemed by him who bore my sins,
When on the cross he died;
Redeemed and purchased with his blood,
Redeemed and sanctified.

Chorus:
Awake, awake, O heart of mine,
Sing praise, sing praise to God above;
Take up the song of endless years
And shout redeeming love.

2 Redeemed by him, my Lord and King,
Who saves me day by day;
My life and all its ransomed powers
Could ne’er His love repay;
And yet his mercy condescends
My humble gift to own,
And thro' the riches of his grace,
He brings me near his throne. [Chorus]

3 O love, unchanging and sublime!
Not all the hosts above
Can reach the height or sound the depth
Of God’s eternal love;
This wondrous love enfolds the world,
It fills the realms above;
’Tis boundless as eternity,
'Tis God, and God is love. [Chorus]
