1 Arise, my soul, arise! Stretch forth to things eternal
and hasten to the feet of your redeemer God,
who, hid from mortal eyes, yet dwells in light supernal;
so worship God in humbleness, your sovereign Lord.
The banquet of love awaits you above;
yet here you have a foretaste of the feast to come!
Rejoice ,my soul, rejoice, to heaven lift up your voice:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
2 Now hear the harps of heaven! Oh, hear the song victorious,
the never-ending anthem sounding through the sky!
To mortals is not given to join in strains so glorious;
yet here on earth we too can sing our praises high!
Christ bought with his blood the ransomed of God;
to him be everlasting power and victory.
And let the great amen resound through heaven again.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
