LYRICS:
Stanza 1:
Awake! awake! and sing the blessed story;
Awake! awake! and let your song of praise arise;
Awake! awake! the earth is full of glory,
And light is beaming from the radiant skies;
The rocks and rills, the vales and hills resound with gladness,
All nature joins to sing the triumph song.
Stanza 2
Ring out! ring out! O bells of joy and gladness!
Repeat, repeat, anew the story o'er again,
Till all the earth shall lose its weight of sadness,
And shout anew the glorious refrain;
With angels in the heights, sing of the great salvation
He wrested from the hand of sin and death.
Chorus
The Lord Jehovah reigns and sin is backward hurled!
'reign pow'r to all the world
And let His glorious banner be unfurled!
Jehovah reigns! Rejoice! rejoice! rejoice! Jehovah reigns!
Amen.

(2) Psalm 96:1-3 (KJV): "O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people."
- Emphasize the call to sing and praise the Lord, declaring His glory to all nations, which aligns with the hymn's message of awakening to sing the triumph song.

Amen and Amen. I sang this hymn around 2012 with Kenya-Re Church Choir

What a special connection to a hymn with such personal history. Do you find that singing it now brings back specific memories or emotions from that time with the Kenya-Re Church Choir?

That sounds like a meaningful experience. The power of hymns to resonate across different moments in our lives is truly remarkable. Do you have any other favorite hymns or songs from your time with the choir?
