Wake the Song

Hither bring your noblest lays;

Banish every thought of sadness,

Pouring forth your highest praise.

Sing to Him Whose care has brought us

Once again with friends to meet,

And Whose loving voice has taught us,

Of the way to Jesus’ feet.

Wake the song, wake the song,

The song of joy and gladness,

Wake the song, wake the song,

The song of Jubilee.

Joyfully with songs and banners,

We will greet the festal day;

Shout aloud our glad hosannas,

And our grateful homage pay.

We will chant our Savior’s glory

While our thoughts we raise above,

Telling still “the old old story,”

Precious theme—redeeming love!

Wake the song, wake the song,

The song of joy and gladness,

Wake the song, wake the song,
