- 1Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
- And raise your voices high;
- Awake, and praise that sov'reign love
- That shows salvation nigh;
- Awake, and praise that sov'reign love
- That shows salvation nigh.
- 2Swift on the wings of time it flies;
- Each moment brings it near;
- Then welcome each declining day,
- Welcome each closing year;
- Then welcome each declining day,
- Welcome each closing year.
- 3Not many years their round shall run,
- Not many mornings rise,
- Ere all its glories stand revealed
- To our admiring eyes;
- Ere all its glories stand revealed
- To our admiring eyes.
