A THIRD HYMN FOR THE KIRK.
― _____ ―
| |
UP, sluggard soul! awake and raise,
|
| |
To thy blest Lord a song of praise, |
| |
Who lifts thee from the gloomy grave, |
| |
When low on earth thou liest,— |
| |
To Him who lived and died to save, |
| |
Hosanna in the highest! |
| |
To Him, thy friend of friends, whose love |
| |
Invites thee to a home above, |
| |
When thou, the world's poor outcast slave |
| |
In grief and anguish criest,— |
| |
To Him who lived and died to save, |
| |
Hosanna in the highest! |

| |
His love a living stream hath found |
| |
For pilgrims faint, on barren ground, |
| |
Their parched and languid souls to lave, |
| |
When earthly streams are driest,— |
| |
To him who lived and died to save, |
| |
Hosanna in the highest! |
