37. Let us awake our joys

1 Let us awake our joys;
Strike up with cheerful voice;
Each creature, sing;
Angels, begin the song;
Mortals, the strain prolong,
In accents sweet and strong,
"Jesus is King."

2 Proclaim abroad His name;
Tell of His matchless fame;
What wonders done;
Above, beneath, around,
Let all the earth resound,
Till heaven's high arch rebound,
"Victory is won."

3 He vanquished sin and hell,
And our last foe will quell;
Mourners, rejoice:
His dying love adore;
Praise Him, now raised in power;
Praise Him for evermore,
With joyful voice.

4 All hail the glorious day,
When, through the heavenly way,
Lo, He shall come,
While they who pierced Him wail;
His promise shall not fail;
Saints, see your King prevail:
Great Saviour, come.
