HYMN 324

H.C.D.C.M (FE 347)



1.  AWAKE glad soul! awake, awake! 

     Thy Lord hath risen long

     Go to His grave l and with thee take 

     Both tuneful heart and song

     Where life‘s making all around

     Where love's sweet voice sing

     The first bright blossom may be found

     Of an eternal spring.


2.  The shade and gloom of life are fled

     This resurrection day

     Henceforth in Christ are no more dead

     The grave hath no more prey

     In Christ we live, in Christ we sleep

     ln Christ we wake and rise

     And the sad tears death makes us weep

     He wipes from all our eyes.


3.  And every bird and every tree

     And every opening flower

     Proclaim His glorious victory

     His resurrection power

     The folds are glad, the field rejoice 

     With vernal vendure spread

     The little hills lift up their voice

     And the sad tears death makes us weep 

     He wipes from all our eyes.


4.  Then wake, glad heart! awake, awake 

     And seek thy risen Lord

     Joy in His resurrection take

     And comfort in His word

     And let life through all its ways 

     One long thanksgiving be

     Its theme of joy, its song of praise 

     ‘Christ died and rose for me”.  Amen
