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

mf

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.

3

And spangled heav'ns, a shin- ing frame, Their great O- rig

dim.

i- nal proclaim,

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

an

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.

His won d'rous love, while life shall last, My con- stant praise shall claim.

I O praise the Lord, and Thou, my soul,
Forever bless His name,

His wondrous love, while life shall last;
My constant praise shall claim.

2 On princes, on the sons of men,

Let none for aid rely;

They cannot help, they turn to dust,
And all their counsels die.

3 Then happy He, who Jacob's God
For His protector takes;

Who still with well-placed hope, the Lord
His constant refuge makes.

4 The Lord who made both heaven and earth,
And all that they contain,

Will never fail in steadfast truth,
Nor make His promise vain.
