1 Awake! my soul, in tuneful lays
The name of Thy Redeemer praise!
With joyful heart lift up thy song,

Thou eatest manna from above,
The banner over thee is love.

3 Thy God has pardoned all thy sin,
And taken His abode within;
Has healed thee of thy many ills,
Thy cup with joy He daily fills.

4 Awake! my soul, in tuneful lays
Pour out in song thy Saviour's praise!
As bounteously He favors thee,
So boundless let thy praises be.
