1. Awake and sing the song of Moses and the Lamb; wake every heart and every tongue to praise the Savior's name.
2. Sing of his dying love; his resurrection power; sing how he intercedes above for those whose sins he bore.
3. You pilgrims on the road to Zion's city, sing, rejoicing in the Lamb of God, to Christ the eternal King.
4. Soon shall each raptured tongue his endless praise proclaim, and sing in sweeter notes the song of Moses and the Lamb.
