¶Lyrics / Text

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve, and press with vigor on; a heavenly race demands thy zeal, and an immortal crown, and an immortal crown. A cloud of witnesses around hold thee in full survey; forget the steps already trod, and onward urge thy way, and onward urge thy way. ’Tis God’s all-animating voice that calls thee from on high; ’tis his own hand presents the prize to thine aspiring eye, to thine aspiring eye. Then wake, my soul, stretch every nerve, and press with vigor on; a heavenly race demands thy zeal, and an immortal crown, and an immortal crown.
