Awake, My Soul.

A-wake, my soul! a-wake, my tongue! My God ac-cepts the grate-ful song;

Let all

my inward pow'rs re- cord, The truth and good-ness of the Lord.

I Awake, my soul! awake, my tongue!
My God accepts the grateful song;
Let all my inward powers record,
The truth and goodness of the Lord.

2 His mercy with unchanging_rays
Forever shines, while time decays:
And children's children shall record,
The truth and goodness of the Lord.

3 While all His works His power proclaim,
Let all the living bless His name,
And let my heart, my life, my tongue,
Attend and join the blissful song.

ma- ment on high With all the blue e- the-real sky,

dim.

And spangled heav'ns, a shin- ing frame, Their great Original proclaim,

Th'un-wea-ried sun, from day to day, Doth his creator's pow'r dis-play;

dim.

And pub-lish - es to ev-'ry land The work of

almighty hand.

I The spacious firmament on high
With all the blue ethereal sky,

And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.

Th' unwearied sun, from day to day,

Doth his creator's power display;

And publishes to every land

The work of an almighty hand.
