Awake glad soul! Awake, awake

1.

Awake glad soul! Awake, awake

Thy Lord hath risen long

Go to His grave and with thee take

Both tuneful heart and song

Where life is waking all round

Where love’s sweet voices sing

The first bright blossom may be found

Of an everlasting spring

2.

The shade and gloom of life are fled

This resurrection day

Henceforth in Christ are no more dead

The grave hath no more prey

In Christ we live, in Christ we sleep

In Christ we wake and rise

And the sad tears death makes us weep

He wipes from all our eyes

3.

And every bird and every tree

And every op’ning flower

Proclaim His glorious victory

His resurrection pow’r

The folds are glad, the fields rejoice

With vernal verdure spread

The little hills lift up their voice

And shout that dead is dead

4.

Then wake, glad heart! Awake, awake

And seek thy risen Lord

Joy in His resurrection take

And comfort in His word

And let thy life through all its ways

One long thanksgiving be

Its theme of joy, its song of praise

Christ died and rose for me
