WAKE THE SONG
1. 
Joyfully with songs and banners,
We will greet the Sabbath day;
Shout aloud our glad hosannas,
And our grateful homage pay.
We will sing our Saviour’s glory
While our thoughts we raise above,
Telling still the old, old, story,
Precious theme - redeeming love!
Refrain
Wake the song, wake the song,
The song of joy and gladness,
Wake the song, wake the song,
The song of Jubile.
2.
Wake the song of joy and gladness;
Hither bring thy noblest lays;
Bannish every thought of sadness,
Pouring forth thy 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.
Refrain
3.
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 Saviour,
For redemption through Thy blood.
Breathe upon us, Holy Spirit,
Sweetly draw us near to God.
Refrain
