Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) #62 (1997) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,
And press with vigor on;
A heav'nly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown,
And an immortal crown.
2 A cloud of witnesses around,
Hold thee in full survey:
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way,
And onward urge thy way.
3 'Tis God's all-animating voice
That calls thee from on high;
'Tis His own hand presents the prize
To thine aspiring eye,
To thine aspiring eye.
4 Blest Savior, introduced by Thee,
Have I my race begun;
And, crowned with vict'ry, at Thy feet
I'll lay my honors down,
I'll lay my honors down. Topics: Christians Aspiration & Longing Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: CHRISTMAS
