Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns First Line: Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, stretch ev'ry nerve,
And press with vigor on:
An heavenly race demands thy zeal,
And an immortal crown.
2 'Tis God's all animating voice,
That calls thee from on high:
'Tis hos own hand presents the prize,
To thine aspiring eye.
3 A cloud of witnesses around
Hold thee if full survey;
Forget the steps already trod,
And onward urge thy way.
4 Bless'd Savior, introduc'd by thee,
Have we our race begun;
And crown'd with victory at thy feet
We lay our laurels down. Topics: The Christian; Christian Running the race; The Christian Race Languages: English
