34   Wake the Song




[1]
Wake the song of joy and gladness;
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.

[C]
Wake the song wake the song
The song of joy and gladness
Wake the song wake the song
The song of Jubilee.

[2]
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
The song of Jubilee.

[3]
Thanks to Thee O holy Father
For the mercies of the year;
May each heart as here we gather
Swell with gratitude sincere.
Thanks to Thee O loving Savior
For redemption through Thy blood.
Breathe upon us Holy Spirit
Sweetly draw us near to God.

[C]
Wake the song wake the song
The song of joy and gladness
Wake the song wake the song
The song of Jubilee.
