56. AWAKE, Awake, O Heart of Mine

Verse 1

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,

 

Chorus

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!

Verse 2

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.

 

Verse 3

Oh, 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
