Awaken thou o sweet LORD,
by thy blessed Spirit and thy living word,
my heart that is hard, dull and slow.
Quicken it that I may behold thy glorious face and grow.
Though day by day I die in the flesh,
I might be changed and see new glories afresh.
O that I might taste and see the abundance of thy grace,
come O LORD with thy loving embrace,
that I can fear thee and proclaim in every place:
“my Beloved is LORD and Redeemer”, all of my days.
