<b>A</b>wake, awake the sacred song,<br>
<span>To our incarnate Lord;</span><br>
Let every heart and every tongue<br>
<span>Adore th' Eternal Word.</span><br>
<br>
That awful Word, that sov'reign Power,<br>
<span>By whom the worlds were made,</span><br>
(O happy morn! illustrious hour!)<br>
<span>Was once in flesh arrayed.</span><br>
<br>
Then shone almighty power and love,<br>
<span>In all their glorious forms,</span><br>
When Jesus left His throne above,<br>
<span>To dwell with sinful worms.</span><br>
<br>
To dwell with misery below,<br>
<span>The Saviour left the skies,</span><br>
And sunk to wretchedness and woe,<br>
<span>That worthless man might rise.</span><br>
<br>
Adoring angels tune their songs,<br>
<span>To hail the joyful day;</span><br>
With rapture then let mortal tongues<br>
<span>Their grateful worship pay.</span><br>

Babes, men and sires, who know His love,<br>
<span>Who feel your sin and thrall,</span><br>
Now join with all the hosts above,<br>
<span>And crown Him Lord of all.</span><br>
<br>
Let every kindred, every tribe,<br>
<span>On this terrestrial ball</span><br>
To Him all majesty ascribe,<br>
<span>And crown Him Lord of all.</span><br>

O, that with yonder sacred throng,<br>
<span>We at His feet may fall!</span><br>
We'll join that everlasting song,<br>
<span>And crown Him Lord of all.</span><br>

<b>A</b>wake, my heart, arise, my tongue,<br>
<span>Prepare a tuneful voice;</span><br>
In God, the life of all my joys,<br>
<span>Aloud will I rejoice.</span><br>
<br>
'Tis He adorned my sinful soul,<br>
<span>And made salvation mine;</span><br>
Upon a poor, polluted worm,<br>
<span>He makes His graces shine.</span><br>
<br>
And, lest the shadow of a spot<br>
<span>Should on my soul be found,</span><br>
He took the robe the Saviour wrought,<br>
<span>And cast it all around.</span><br>
<br>
How far the heavenly robe exceeds<br>
<span>What earthly princes wear!</span><br>
These ornaments, how bright they shine!<br>
<span>How white the garments are!</span><br>
<br>
The spirit wrought by faith and love,<br>
<span>And hope, and every grace;</span><br>
But Jesus spent His life to work<br>
<span>The robe of righteousness.</span><br>
<br>
Strangly, my soul, art thou arrayed<br>
<span>By the great sacred <em>THREE!</em></span><br>
In sweetest harmony of praise<br>
<span>Let all thy powers agree.</span><br>

<b>B</b>efore Jehovah's awful throne,<br>
<span>Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;</span><br>
Know that the Lord is God alone;<br>
<span>He can create and He destroy.</span><br>
<br>
His sovereign power, without our aid,<br>
<span>Made us of clay and formed us men;</span><br>
And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,<br>
<span>He brought us to His fold again.</span><br>
<br>
We are His people, we His care,<br>
<span>Our souls, and all our mortal frame;</span><br>
What lasting honor shall we raise,<br>
<span>Almighty Maker, to Thy name!</span><br>
<br>
We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,<br>
<span>High as the heav'ns our voices raise:</span><br>
And earth with her ten thousand tongues,<br>
<span>Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.</span><br>
<br>
Wide as the world is Thy command,<br>
<span>Vast as eternity Thy love;</span><br>
Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,<br>
<span>When rolling years shall cease to move.</span><br>
