Let us awake our joys.
Let us awake our joys;
Strike up with cheerful voice,
Each creature sing:
Angels, begin the song;
Mortals, the strain prolong,
In accents sweet and strong,
“Jesus is King.”
2 Proclaim abroad his name;
Tell of his matchless fame!
What wonders done;
Above, beneath, around,
Let all the earth resound,
’Till heaven’s high arch rebound,
“Victory is won.”
3 He vanquished sin and hell,
And our last foe will quell;
Mourners, rejoice;
His dying love adore;
Praise him now raised in power;
Praise him for evermore,
With joyful voice.
4 All hail the glorious day,
When through the heavenly way,
Lo! he shall come,
While they who pierced him, wail;
His promise shall not fail;
Saints, see your King prevail:
Great Saviour, come.
Kingsbury.
