16087. Awake, Believing Souls, Awake

1 Awake, be­liev­ing souls, awake,
Your so­lemn vows renew,
To Him who died up­on the cross,
And pleads in Heav’n for you.

2 Awake, my dull in­act­ive soul,
Nor more in­dulge de­lay;
Let acts of pi­ety and love
Mark each re­volv­ing day.

3 Each day of this new year, would I
Devote, oh God to Thee;
Each day of this new year, do Thou
Impart new strength to me.
