Awake, my soul, in joyful lays,
Oh, glory, hallelujah,
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise;
Don’t you love God!
Glory, hallelujah.
[chorus]
There’s union in heav’n, and there’s union in my soul,
Oh, glory, hallelujah,
Sweet music in Zion’s beginning to roll;
Don’t you love God!
Glory, hallelujah.
He saw me ruined by the fall,
Oh, glory, hallelujah,
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
Don’t you love God!
Glory, hallelujah.
I often feel my sinful heart,
Oh, glory, hallelujah,
Prone from my Savior to depart;
Don’t you love God!
Glory, hallelujah.
But though I have Him oft forgot,
Oh, glory, hallelujah,
His loving-kindness changes not;
Don’t you love God!
Glory, hallelujah.
Oh, glory, hallelujah,
And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise;
Don’t you love God!
Glory, hallelujah.
