Awake, Sweet Gratitude, and Sing
 
1. Awake, sweet gratitude, and sing the  ascended Saviour's love;
Sing how He lives to carry on His people's cause above. 
 
2. With cries and tears He offered up His humble suit below;
But with authority He asks, enthroned in glory now. 
 
3. For all that come to God by Him, salvation He demands;
Points to their names upon His breast, and spreads His wounded  hands. 
 
4. His sweet atoning sacrifice gives sanction to His claim:
Father, I will that all my saints be with me where I am. 
 
5. Founded on right, Thy pray'r avails, the Father smiles on Thee;
And now Thou in Thy kingdom art, dear Lord, remember me.
