Wake, all ye soaring throng, and sing

Wake, all ye soaring throng, and sing

Tune: HARMONY (Ellis)
Published in 5 hymnals


Representative Text

Wake all ye soaring throng, and sing;
Ye cheerful warblers of the spring,
Harmonious anthems raise
To him, who shap'd your finer mould
Who tipt your glitt'ring wings with gold,
And tun'd your voice to praise.
