Awake, my joy, awake I say,
My lute, my harp and string;
And I myself before the day
Will rise, rejoice and sing.
Among the people I will tell
The goodness of my God;
And shew his praise that doth excel
In heathen lands abroad.
His mercy doth extend as far
As heavens all are high;
His truth as high as any star
That shineth in the sky.
Set forth and shew thyself, O God,
Above the heav’ns most bright;
Exalt thyself on earth abroad,
Thy majesty and might.
