-Awake, our souls; away, our fears,
-Let every trembling thought begone;
-Awake, and run the heavenly race,
-And put a cheerful courage on.
-True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
-And mortal spirits tire and faint;
-But they forget the mighty God,
-That feeds the strength of every saint.
-Thee, mighty God! whose matchless power
-Is ever new and ever young,
-And firm endures, while endless years
-Their everlasting circles run.
-From Thee, the overflowing spring,
-Our souls shall drink a fresh supply,
-While such as trust their native strength
-Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
-Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
-We'll mount aloft to thine abode
-On wings of love our souls shall fly,
-Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.
