Alternate Tunes
|
| 1. Awake and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb;
Tune every heart and every tongue
To praise the Saviour's name.
2. Come, pilgrims on the road
To Zion's city, sing:
Rejoice we in the Lamb of God—
In Christ, the eternal King.
3. Sing of His dying love;
Sing of His rising power;
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.
4. If you have felt His grace,
You'll not refuse to sing,
But summon all your powers to praise
Your Saviour and Your King.
5. Look back and see the state
Wherein your nature lay;
Then wonder at His love so great,
Who did your ransom pay.
6. His faithfulness proclaim
While life and health are given;
Join hands and hearts
to praise His name
Till we all meet in heaven.
7. May Jesus' Word take place
And wisdom in us dwell
That we His miracles of grace
In psalms and hymns may tell.
8. Tell in seraphic strains
What Christ has done for you,
How He has taken off your chains
And formed your hearts anew.
9. Be careful to approve
Yourselves His children dear;
Admonish and provoke to love,
To righteousness and fear.
10. Leave carnal joys below,
To men of meaner taste;
Think, speak, and sing of nothing now
But Christ the first and last.
11. Are you in deep distress?
Then sing to ease the smart,
Are you rejoiced? Let psalms express
The gladness of your heart.
12. When Paul and Silas sung,
The earth began to quake;
The prison-doors were open flung,
Her firm foundations shake.
13. The prisoners' bands were loosed
Who can the Lord control?
May equal powers be now diffused
And free each captive soul.
14. Sing till you feel your hearts
Ascending with your tongues;
Sing till the love of sin departs
And grace inspires your songs.
15. Sing till you heart Christ say,
"Your sins are all forgiven";
Go on, rejoicing all the way,
And sing your souls to heaven.
16. Sing on your heav'nly way,
Ye ransomed sinners sing;
Sing on, rejoicing ev'ry day
In Christ the eternal King.
17. Soon shall we hear Him say
Ye blessed children come;
Soon will he call you hence away,
And take his pilgrims home
18. You pilgrims on the road
to Zion's city, sing,
rejoicing in the Lamb of God,
to Christ the eternal King.
19. Soon shall each raptured tongue
his endless praise proclaim,
and sing in sweeter notes the song
of Moses and the Lamb.
20. **alt verses
21. Awake and sing the song

To praise the Saviour's name.
23. Sing of his dying love,
his resurrection power;
sing how he intercedes above
for those whose sins he bore.
24. Soon shall we hear Him say
Ye blessed children come;
Soon will he call us hence away,
And take us to his home.
25. There shall each raptured tongue
his endless praise proclaim,
and sweeter voices tune the song
of glory and the Lamb.

Ascending with our tongues;
Sing till the love of sin departs,
And grace inspires our hearts.
30. Soon we shall hear Him say,
Ye blessed children come;
Soon will He call hence, away,
And take His wand'rers home.
