Awake, My Heart, Arise, My Tongue

Verse 1

Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue,
Prepare a tuneful voice,
In God the life of all my joys,
Aloud will I rejoice.

Verse 2

’Tis he adorn’d my naked soul,
And made salvation mine,
Upon a poor polluted worm
He makes his graces shine.

Verse 3

And lest the shadow of a spot
Should on my soul be found,
He took the robe the Saviour wrought,
And cast it all around.

Verse 4

How far the heavenly robe exceeds
What earthly princes wear!
These ornaments, how bright they shine!
How white the garments are!

Verse 5

The Spirit wrought my faith and love,
And hope, and every grace;
But Jesus spent his life to work
The robe of righteousness.

Verse 6

Strangely, my soul, art thou array’d
By the great sacred Three:
In sweetest harmony of praise
Let all thy powers agree.
