Awake, arise, lift up your voice by Thomas Haweis — Lyrics
Awake, arise, lift up your voice,
let Easter music swell;
rejoice in Christ, again rejoice
and on his praises dwell.
Oh, with what gladness and surprise
the saints their Savior greet;
nor will they trust their ears and eyes
but by his hands and feet,
those hands of liberal love indeed
in infinite degree,

About Awake, arise, lift up your voice
Awake, arise, lift up your voice captures the jubilant spirit of Easter morning. The text rejoices in Christ's resurrection, celebrating his triumphant return and the immense love that motivated his sacrifice. The SATB voicing lends a rich, full sound to this English hymn, ideal for conveying the profound gladness and surprise of the saints greeting their Savior. It highlights the tangible evidence of his love through his hands and feet, and contrasts the earthly attempt to seal him away with the heavenly adoration that awaited him. This setting amplifies the message of hope and divine victory.
