Millennial Harp 66
Awake, and sing the song
S.M.
1Awake, and sing the song Of Moses and the Lamb; Wake, every heart and every tongue, To praise the Savior's name.
2Sing of his dying love, Sing of his rising power; Sing how he intercedes above For those whose sins he bore.
3Sing on your heavenly way, Ye ransomed sinners, sing; Sing on, rejoicing every day In Christ, the Eternal King.
4Soon shall we hear him say, "Ye blessed children, come;" Soon will he call us hence away, And take his wanderers home.
5Soon shall our raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim, And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.
