Thomas Clark - Awake my joy, awake I say - текст песни (слова)

Awake, my joy, awake I say,
 My lute, my harp and string;
 And I myself before the day
 Will rise, rejoice and sing.
 
 Among the people I will tell
 The goodness of my God;
 And shew his praise that doth excel
 In heathen lands abroad.
 
 His mercy doth extend as far
 As heavens all are high;
 His truth as high as any star
 That shineth in the sky.
 
 Set forth and shew thyself, O God,
 Above the heav'ns most bright;
 Exalt thyself on earth abroad,
 Thy majesty and might.
