Author: Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: Laudes Domini #39 (1888) First Line: Awake, ye saints, awake! Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, awake!
And hail this sacred day;
In loftiest songs of praise
Your joyful homage pay!
Come bless the day that God hath blest,
The type of heaven's eternal rest.
2 On this auspicious morn
The Lord of life arose;
He burst the bars of death,
And vanquished all our foes;
And now he pleads our cause above,
And reaps the fruit of all his love.
3 All hail, triumphant Lord!
Heaven with hosannas rings,
And earth in humbler strains
Thy praise responsive sings:
Worthy the Lamb that once was slain,
Through endless years to live and reign! Topics: Christ Ascension of; Opening of Service Languages: English Tune Title: ZEBULON
