Verse 1

O heart, awake; one loving word For Him who bore thy every fear; Shall not thy voice of praise be heard With those who now are gathered here!

Chorus

O heart, awake; He died for thee; O heart, awake; it cannot be Thou hast for Him no gift to bring, No word to speak, no song to sing.

Verse 2

O heart, awake; O heart of mine, Where now thy pledge to do His will? Canst thou forget His love divine! Then why so cold and silent still?

Chorus

O heart, awake; He died for thee; O heart, awake; it cannot be Thou hast for Him no gift to bring, No word to speak, no song to sing.

Verse 3

O heart, awake; the tempter spurn; Thy gracious Lord with joy behold; O heart, awake, arise, return, Nor leave again thy Saviour’s fold.

Chorus

O heart, awake; He died for thee; O heart, awake; it cannot be Thou hast for Him no gift to bring, No word to speak, no song to sing.

Verse 4

O heart, be glad; O heart, rejoice; The cloud was dark, but now ‘tis o’er; And thou canst sing with tuneful voice, Of Him who doth thy soul restore.

Chorus

O heart, awake; He died for thee; O heart, awake; it cannot be Thou hast for Him no gift to bring, No word to speak, no song to sing.
