Sheet music

  1. 1Awake, my soul, stretch ev’ry nerve,And press with vigor on;A heav’nly 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.
  2. 2'Tis God’s all-animating voiceThat calls thee from on high;‘Tis His own hand presents the prizeTo thine aspiring eye,To thine aspiring eye.Blest Savior, introduced by Thee,Have I my race begun;And, crowned with vict’ry, at Thy feetI’ll lay my honors down,I’ll lay my honors down.
