Awake, O world, from slumber,
Awake from winter’s night!
Awake, and hail the splendor
Of Heaven’s golden light!

Blue skies are smiling o’er us,
The fields are fresh and fair,
Awake, O world, O world awake,
Awake from winter’s night!

Awake, and hail the splendor
Of Heaven’s golden light!
Awake, and hail the splendor
Of Heaven’s golden light!

In forest, field, and meadow,
Are sounds of gladness heard;
All things unite in telling
The goodness of the Lord;

Then let us join the chorus
Of nature’s joyous band,
While summer’s skies smile o’er us,
Within the summer land.

Awake, O world, from slumber,
Awake from winter’s night!
Awake, and hail the splendor
Of Heaven’s golden light!

Blue skies are smiling o’er us,
The fields are fresh and fair,
Awake, O world, O world awake,
Awake from winter’s night!

Awake, and hail the splendor
Of Heaven’s golden light!
Awake, and hail the splendor
Of Heaven’s golden light!
