Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLXXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes
And raise your voices high;
Awake, and praise that sovereign love,
That shews salvation nigh.
2 On all the wings of time it flies,
Each moment brings it near:
Then welcome each declining day!
And each revolving year!
3 Not many years their round shall run,
Nor many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand reveal'd
To our admiring eyes.
4 Ye wheels of nature, speed your course;
Ye mortal powers, decay;
Fast as ye bring the night of death,
Ye bring eternal day. Topics: Heaven; Worship of Heaven, the everlasting song; Salvation approaching Scripture: Romans 13:11 Languages: English
Happiness approaching!
