“Mydrowsy powers, why sleep ye so?Awake, my sluggish soul;Nothing has half thy work to do,Yet nothing’s half so dull.“We, for whom God the Son came downAnd labored for our good,How careless to secure that crownHe purchased with His blood!“Lord, shall we lie so sluggish stillAnd never act our parts?Come, Holy Spirit, come and fillAnd wake and warm our hearts.”

Awake, my sluggish soul;
Nothing has half thy work to do,
Yet nothing’s half so dull.

And labored for our good,
How careless to secure that crown
He purchased with His blood!

And never act our parts?
Come, Holy Spirit, come and fill
And wake and warm our hearts.”
