1. Awake our souls! awake our tongues;
The subject is divine:
The Saviour’s love demands our songs;
Let all His people join.
2. This Saviour is the Mighty God,
Who rests in heav’n above;
Reveal’d in flesh, He shed His blood,
And thus declar’d God’s love.356
3. Jesus, Thy love exceeds our thought;
But this at least we see,
The soul that knows Thy pow’r is taught
To value nought but Thee.
4. And though Thy love be faintly seen,
W h a t’s seen demands our praise;
Without it, Lord, we still had been
Engag’d in folly’s ways.
