Sheet music
- 1Awake, my tongue, thy tribute bringTo Him who gave thee pow’r to sing;Praise Him who is all praise above,The source of wisdom and of love.How vast His knowledge! how profound!A deep where all our tho’ts are drowned;The stars He numbers and their namesHe gives to all those heav’nly flames.
- 2Thru each bright world above, beholdTen thousand thousand charms unfold;Earth, air, and mighty seas combineTo speak His wisdom all divine.But in redemption, O what grace!Its wonders, O what tho’t can trace!Here wisdom shines forever bright:Praise Him, my soul, with sweet delight.
