<h2><SPAN name="AWAKE" id="AWAKE" />AWAKE!</h2>
<p><i>All my ways are before thee.</i>—Psalm 119:168.</p>
<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span>Awake, O soul, awake!<br/></span>
<span>Enter thy cell of thought,<br/></span>
<span>And there in calmness meditate<br/></span>
<span>On what God's word has taught.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>There's nought within thy scope,<br/></span>
<span>No influence thou hast sown,<br/></span>
<span>No gloomy doubt, no joyful hope,<br/></span>
<span>But unto him are known.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>Awake! but grovel not<br/></span>
<span>In ashes of despair,<br/></span>
<span>Christ's precious blood can cleanse each spot;<br/></span>
<span>Cast on him every care.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>Before him are thy ways,<br/></span>
<span>But in his mercy free<br/></span>
<span>He further yet his love displays,<br/></span>
<span>And intercedes for thee.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span>Awake to holy fear<br/></span>
<span>And praise thy God on high;<br/></span>
<span>Be it thy joy to praise him here<br/></span>
<span>And praise him in the sky.<br/></span></div>
