UNION HYMNAL.

f Con spirito.

Awake, My Soul.

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

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.

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

dim.

i-nal proclaim,

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

dim.

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 creators 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.
