Let Us Awake Our Joys

Author: William Kingsbury Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us awake our joys, Strike up with cheerful voice— Each creature sing; Angels—begin the song, Mortals—the strains prolong, In accents sweet and strong— "Jesus is King." 2 Proclaim abroad His name, Tell of His matchless fame— What wonders done; Shout through hell’s dark profound; Let the whole earth resound, Till the high heavens resound— "The victory’s won." 3 He vanquished sin and hell, And the last foe will quell; Mourners rejoice! His dying love adore; Praise Him now raised in power, And triumph ever more, With a glad voice. 4 All hail the glorious day When thro’ the heavenly way, Lo, He shall come! While they who pierced Him wail, His promise shall not fail; Saints, see your king prevail: Come, dear Lord, come!

Sound, sound the truth abroad; Bear ye the Word of God Through the wide world; Tell what our Lord hath done, Tell how the day is won, Tell from his lofty throne Satan is hurled. 2. Far over sea and land Go at your Lord’s command; Bear ye His name; Bear it to every shore, Regions unknown explore, Enter at every door: Silence is shame. 3. Speed on the wings of love; Jesus, who reigns above, Bids us to fly; They who His message bear Should neither doubt nor fear, He will their Friend appear, He will be nigh. 4. When on the mighty deep, He will their spirits keep, Stayed on His Word; When in a foreign land, No other friend at hand, Jesus will by them stand— Jesus, their Lord. 5. Ye who, forsaking all, At your loved Master’s call, Comforts resign; Soon will your work be done, Soon will the prize be won, Brighter than yonder sun, Then shall ye shine.
