Awake, our souls! away, our fears!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 404 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:24 Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls! away, our fears! Let every trembling thought be done; Awake, and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, Who feeds the strength of every saint. 3 The mighty god, whose matchless power Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures while endless years Their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a full supply; While such as trust their native strength, Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amid the heavenly road.

The arms of love that compass me, hold all the human race, hold all the human race. 5 His only righteousness I show, his saving truth proclaim; 'tis all my business here below to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' to cry, 'Behold the Lamb!' 6 Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp his name; preach him to all, and cry in death: 'Behold, behold the Lamb!'
