Awake, Awake! O Heart of Mine!

Composer: John Sweney

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.

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.

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!
