1 Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high;
Away, and praise that sovereign Love,
That shows salvation nigh.
2 On all the wings of time it flies;
Each moment brings it near;
Then welcome each declining day!
Welcome each closing year!
3 Not many years their round shall run,
Nor many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed
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.
