(Verse 1)
Arise, my soul, arise!
Stretch forth to things eternal
And hasten to the feet
of your Redeemer God.
Though hid from mortal eyes,
He dwells in light supernal;
Yet worship Him in humbleness
and call Him Lord.
His banquet of love
Awaits you above;
Yet here He grants a foretaste
of the feast to come!
Rejoice, my soul, rejoice,
To heav’n lift up your voice:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
(Verse 2)
Now hear the harps of heav’n!
Oh, hear the song victorious,
The never-ending anthem sounding
through the sky!
To mortals is not giv’n
To join in strains so glorious;
Yet here on earth we too
can sing our praises high!
He bought with His blood
The ransomed of God;
To Him be everlasting
pow’r and victory.
And let the great amen
Resound through heav’n again.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
