Author: R. L. Fletcher Hymnal: Christ in Song #214 (1908) First Line: Awake, my soul, and greet the dawn Refrain First Line: Awake, my soul Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and greet the dawn,
Behold, the dreary night is gone;
The sunless grave gives back its prey,
For Christ came forth at break of day.
Chorus:
Awake, my soul,
The Saviour lives, no more to die,
Awake, my soul,
The Lord ascends on high.
2 Amazed were they, the Roman guard,
Who fast the sepulcher had barred,
To see how vain the watch the seal,
When Jesus did his might reveal. [Chorus]
3 In lofty strains let Zion sing
The praise of her triumphant King;
Captivity is captive led,
For Christ is risen from the dead. [Chorus] Topics: Special Occasions Easter; Special Occasions Easter Languages: English Tune Title: [Awake, my soul, and greet the dawn]
