Awake my soul, rise up and sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
Whose loving kindness e’re abides
Throughout my earthly days

Shake off the chains of doubt and fear
Let nothing you dismay
For Christ your King rules over all
And he must win the day
No trials here, no troubled seas
But he does rise above
Who walks on every stormy crest
To hold you fast in love
Give all your care and worried mind
Into his nailed scarred hands
Who stands behind each providence
Who winds and seas commands
Rest all your weight on he who rules
In sov’reign majesty
Will not the one who died for you
Forever faithful be?

Cling fast to all his promises
Trust fully in his grace
Set all your heart on things above
Behold his smiling face
The one who bought you with his blood
Cannot forsake his own
The ones by faith in Spirit joined
As very flesh and bone
In seasons of the thickest clouds
In nights of darkest black
Sustained by his own life within
We suffer no true lack
Awake my soul, rise up and sing
Your great Redeemer’s praise
Lift up your voice in joyful song
Be still, and stand amazed
