Awake, and sing the song
Author: Wm. Hammond Appears in 677 hymnals Hymnal Title: Church Hymns and Tunes Used With Tune: MEDIA
Awake, and sing the song
Let Hearts and Tongues Unite
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Let hearts and tongues unite
And loud thanksgivings raise;
’Tis duty, mingled with delight,
The Savior’s name to praise.
2. To Him we owe our breath,
He took us from the womb,
Which else had shut us up in death,
And proved an early tomb.
3. When on the breast we hung
Our help was in the Lord;
’Twas He first taught our infant tongue
To form the lisping word.
4. When in our blood we lay
He would not let us die,
Because His love had fixed a day
To bring salvation nigh.
5. In childhood and in youth
His eye was on us still;
Though strangers to His love and truth,
And prone to cross His will.
6. And since His name we knew,
How gracious has He been!
What dangers has He led us through,
What mercies have we seen!
7. Now through another year
Supported by His care;
We raise our Ebenezer here,
The Lord has helped thus far.
8. Our lot in future years
Unable to foresee
He, kindly to prevent our fears,
Says, Leave it all to Me.
9. Yea, Lord, we wish to cast
Our cares upon Thy breast!
Help us to praise Thee for the past,
And trust Thee for the rest. Used With Tune: ADVENT (Goss) Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 42

And swift to do His will,
Bless ye the Lord, whose voice ye hear,
Whose pleasure ye fulfill.

The orders of their king,
And guard His churches when they pray,
Join in the praise they sing.

Through His vast kingdom show
Their maker’s glory, thou, my soul,
Shalt sing His graces, too. Used With Tune: ADVENT (Goss) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

William Hammond
1719 - 1783 Person Name: Wm. Hammond Hymnal Title: Church Hymns and Tunes Author of "Awake, and sing the song" in Church Hymns and Tunes Hammond, William, B.A, born at Battle, Sussex, Jan. 6, 1719, and educated at St. John's College, Cambridge. In 1743 he joined the Calvinistic Methodists; and in 1745, the Moravian Brethren. He died in London, Aug. 19, 1783, and was buried in the Moravian burial-ground, Sloane Street, Chelsea. He left an Autobiography in Greek, which remains unpublished. His original hymns, together with his translations from the Latin, were published in his:—
Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs. To which is prefix'd A Preface, giving some Account of a Weak Faith, and a Full Assurance of Faith; and briefly stating the Doctrine of Sanctification; and shewing a Christian's Completeness, Perfection, and Happiness in Christ. By William Hammond, A.B., late of St. John's College, Cambridge. London: Printed by W. Strahan; and sold by J. Oswald, at the Rose and Crown in the Poultry, mdccxlv.
A few of his original hymns from scriptural fidelity and earnestness have attained to a foremost position amongst English hymns. These include, "Awake, and sing the song," and "Lord, we come before Thee now." His translations of Latin hymns were amongst the earliest published after those contained in the Primers and other devotional works of 16th and 17th centuries. They are of merit, and worthy of attention. Greater use might also be made of his original compositions. In addition to those named above, the following are also in common use:—
1. Brightness of the Father's Face. God the Son.
2. How great the Christian's portion is. Possession of All in Christ.
3. If Jesus is yours. God's unchangeable Love.
4. In Thine own appointed way. Divine Worship.
5. Jesus, Who died the [a] world to save. Easter.
6. Lord, if on earth the thought of Thee. Heaven anticipated.
1. Now with joint consent we sing. Divine Worship.
8. O Lord, how little do we know. Quinquagesima.
9. Would you win a soul to God ? The Gospel Message.
