Text: | Awake, My Soul, Stretch Every Nerve |
Author: | Rev. Philip Doddridge |
Tune: | CHRISTMAS |
Composer: | George F. Handel |
1. Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,
And press with vigor on!
A heav'nly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown,
And an immortal crown.
2. A cloud of witnesses around
Hold thee in full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way,
And onward urge thy way.
3. 'Tis God's all-animating voice
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis His own hand presents the prize
To thine aspiring eye,
To thine aspiring eye.
4. Blest Savior, introduced by Thee,
Have I my race begun;
And, crowned with vict'ry, at Thy feet
I'll lay my honors down,
I'll lay my honors down.
