Wake the Song

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.

Wake the song

wake the song

The song of joy and glad­ness

Wake the song

wake the song

The song of Ju­bi­lee.

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!

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.
