Awake, awake, O heart of mine!
Sing praise to God above;
Take up the song of endless years,
And sing redeeming love!
Redeemed by Him Who bore my sins,
When on the cross He died;
Redeemed and purchased with His blood,
Redeemed and sanctified.
Refrain
Awake, awake, o heart of mine!
Sing praise, sing praise to God above;
Take up the song of endless years,
And sing redeeming love!
Redeemed by Him, my Lord and King,
Who saves me day by day;
My life and all its ransomed powers
Could ne'er His love repay.
And yet His mercy condescends
My humble gift to own;
And through the riches of His grace,
He brings me near His throne.
Refrain
O love, unchanging, love sublime!
Not all the hosts above
Can reach the height or sound the depth
Of God's eternal love.
This wondrous love enfolds the world,
It fills the realms above;
'Tis boundless as eternity;
Oh, praise the God of love!
