AWAKE, AWAKE TO LOVE AND WORK
Words by Geoffrey Suddert-Kennedy (1883-1929)
1 
A(Fm)wake, awake (Db)to (Eb)love and (Fm)work! 
The (Db)lark is in (Bbm)the (Ab)sky; 
The (Ab)fields are (Eb)wet (Ab/C)with (Bbm6)diamond (Ab)dew; 
The (Fm)worlds a(Bbm6)wake (Eb)to (Fm)cry 
Their (Ab)blessings (Eb)on (Fm)the (Eb)Lord of (Cm)life, 
As (Fm/Ab)He (Cm)goes (Fm)meek(Eb)ly (Fm)by. 

2 
Come, let thy voice be one with theirs, 
Shout with their shout of praise; 
See how the giant sun soars up, 
Great lord of years and days! 
So let the love of Jesus come 
And set thy soul ablaze. 

3 
To give and give, and give again, 
What God hath given thee; 
To spend thyself nor count the cost; 
To serve right gloriously 
the God who gave all worlds that are,
and all that are to be.
