A THIRD HYMN FOR THE KIRK . UP , sluggard soul ! awake and raise , To thy blest Lord a song of praise , Who lifts thee from the gloomy grave , When low on earth thou liest , — To Him who lived and died to save , Hosanna in the highest ! To Him , thy friend of friends , whose love Invites thee to a home above , When thou , the world's poor outcast slave In grief and anguish criest , — To Him who lived and died to save , Hosanna in the highest ! His love a living stream hath found For pilgrims faint , on barren ground , Their parched and languid souls to lave , When earthly streams are driest , — To him who lived and died to save , Hosanna in the highest !
