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 adorned 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 that heavenly robe excels 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.
