Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve, A heavenly race demands thy zeal, A cloud of witnesses around "Tis God's all-animating voice That calls thee from on high; 'Tis His own hand presents the prize Blest Saviour, introduced by Thee, Have I my race begun ; And crown'd with victory, at Thy feet I'll lay my honours down. DODDRIDGE. While truth our track across the desert guides, O Lord, Thy heavenly grace impart, Whate'er pursuits my time employ, Thy glorious eye pervadeth space, And wheresoe'er my lot shall be, Renouncing every worldly thing Safe! 'neath the covert ef Thy wing My sweetest thought henceforth shall be In Thee, my God, in Thee! OBERLIN. I have called Thee Abba, Father, Soul, then know thy full salvation, Joy to find in every station Think what spirit dwells within thee, Haste thee on from grace to glory, Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer, Heaven's eternal day before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. |
