Verse 1
O soul of mine, awake
Your Shepherd’s voice discern (John 10:4, John 10:27)
You see the road He bids you take
Though not where it will turn (Prov. 3:5-6, Heb. 11:8)
But see His footprints in the dust
So follow in His steps, and trust (I Pet. 2:21, II Cor. 5:7, Isa. 43:2)
Chorus
Through paths I cannot see (Isa. 55:8-9)
When shadows veil the night
Whatever God ordains for me
His will is my delight (Ps. 40:8, Matt. 26:39, Luke 22:42)
Verse 2
O soul of mine, endure
The silence of the night (Ps. 13:1)
His promises are just as sure
As in the morning light
And on His promises depend (Ps. 119:31)
That every trial has an end (James 1:12, Job 23:10, Rev. 21:4)
Repeat chorus
Verse 3
O soul of mine, rejoice
The day is drawing near (James 5:8)
When you shall waken to the voice (John 5:28, I Thess. 4:16-17)
You thought was silent here (Ps. 13:1)
And on the road you could not see
He led you to eternity
Repeat chorus
