- 1Awake, ye saints, awake!
- And hail this sacred day;
- In loftiest songs of praise
- Your joyful homage pay:
- Come, bless the day that God hath blest,
- The type of heaven's eternal rest.
- 2On this all-glorious morn
- The Lord of life arose;
- He burst the bars of death,
- And vanquished all our foes:
- And now He pleads our cause above,
- And reaps the fruit of all His love.
- 3All hail, triumphant Lord!
- Heaven with hosannas rings,
- And earth in humbler strains,
- Thy praise responsive sings:
- Worthy the Lamb, that once was slain,
- Through endless years to live and reign!
- 4Amen.
