Hymn 324 – AWAKE glad soul! awake, awake! | C&S English Hymnary

1. AWAKE glad soul! awake, awake! Thy Lord hath risen long Go to His grave l and with thee take Both tuneful heart and song Where life‘s making all around Where love's sweet voice sing The first bright blossom may be found Of an eternal spring. 2. The shade and gloom of life are fled This resurrection day Henceforth in Christ are no more dead The grave hath no more prey In Christ we live, in Christ we sleep In Christ we wake and rise And the sad tears death makes us weep He wipes from all our eyes. 3. And every bird and every tree And every opening flower Proclaim His glorious victory His resurrection power The folds are glad, the field rejoice With vernal vendure spread The little hills lift up their voice And the sad tears death makes us weep He wipes from all our eyes. 4. Then wake, glad heart! awake, awake And seek thy risen Lord Joy in His resurrection take And comfort in His word And let life through all its ways One long thanksgiving be Its theme of joy, its song of praise ‘Christ died and rose for me” AMEN
