Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Awake, our souls; away, our fears 
Awake, our souls, away, our fears; let every trembling thought be gone; awake, and run the heavenly race, and put a cheerful courage on. 
True, 'tis a strait and thorny road and mortal spirits tire and faint; but they forget the mighty God who feeds the strength of every saint-
Thee, mighty God, whose matchless power is ever new and ever young, and firm endures, while endless years their everlasting circles run! 
From thee, the overflowing spring, our souls shall drink a fresh supply, while such as trust their native strength shall faint away, and droop, and die. 
Swift as an eagle cuts the air, we'll mount aloft to thine abode: on wings of love our souls shall fly, nor tire along the heavenly road. 
(1674-1748)
