Awake, My Tongue

Verse 1

Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bring To Him who gave thee pow'r to sing; Praise Him who is all praise above, The source of wisdom and of love.

Verse 2

How vast His knowledge! How profound! A deep where all our tho'ts are drowned; The stars He numbers and their names He gives to all those heav'nly flames.

Verse 3

Thro' each bright world above, behold, Ten thousand thousand charms unfold; Earth, air, and mighty seas combine To speak His wisdom all divine.

Verse 4

But in redemption, O what grace! Its wonders, O what tho't can trace! Here wisdom shines for ever bright: Praise Him, my soul, with sweet delight.
