G+G D MajorD
Awake, my heart, with gladness,
G+G 
C majorC
See what today is done
G+G D MajorD
Now, after gloom and sadness,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Comes forth the glorious Sun.
G+G C majorC
My Savior there was laid
G+G D MajorD
Where our bed must be made
G+G C majorC
When to the realms of light
G+G D MajorD G+G
Our spirit wings it's flight.
G+G D MajorD
The foe in triumph shouted
G+G C majorC
When Christ lay in the tomb
G+G D MajorD
But, lo, He now is routed,
A augmentedA D MajorD
His boast is turned to gloom.
G+G C majorC
For Christ again is free
G+G D MajorD
In glorious victory
G+G C majorC
He Who is strong to save
G+G D MajorD G+G
Has triumphed o'er the grave.
G+G D MajorD
This is a sight that gladdens
G+G C majorC
What peace it doth impart.
G+G D MajorD
Now nothing ever saddens
A augmentedA D MajorD
The joy within my heart.
G+G C majorC
No gloom shall ever shake,
G+G D MajorD
No foe shall ever take,
G+G C majorC
The hope which God's own Son
G+G D MajorD G+G
In love for me hath won.
G+G D MajorD
Now hell, its prince, the devil
G+G C majorC
Of all their powers are shorn
G+G D MajorD
Now I am safe from evil,
A augmentedA D MajorD
And sin I laugh to scorn.
G+G C majorC
Grim Death with all his might
G+G D MajorD
Cannot my soul affright
G+G C majorC
He is a powerless form,
G+G D MajorD G+G
How er he rave and storm.
G+G D MajorD
The world against me rageth
G+G C majorC
Its fury I disdain
G+G D MajorD
Though bitter war it wageth
A augmentedA D MajorD
Its work is all in vain.
G+G C majorC
My heart from care is free,
G+G D MajorD
No trouble troubles me.
G+G C majorC
Misfortune now is play
G+G D MajorD G+G
And night is bright as day.
G+G D MajorD
Now I will cling forever
G+G C majorC
To Christ, my Savior true
G+G D MajorD
My Lord will leave me never,
A augmentedA D MajorD
Whate'er He passeth through.
G+G C majorC
He rends Death's iron chain,
G+G D MajorD
He breaks through sin and pain,
G+G C majorC
He shatters hell's dark thrall,
G+G D MajorD G+G
I follow Him through all.
G+G D MajorD
To halls of heavenly splendor
G+G C majorC
With Him I penetrate
G+G D MajorD
And trouble ne er may hinder
A augmentedA D MajorD
Nor make me hesitate.
G+G C majorC
Let tempests rage at will,
G+G D MajorD
My Savior shields me still
G+G C majorC
He grants abiding peace
G+G D MajorD G+G
And bids all tumult cease.
G+G D MajorD
He brings me to the portal
G+G C majorC
That leads to bliss untold,
G+G D MajorD
Whereon this rhyme immortal
A augmentedA D MajorD
Is found in script of gold
G+G C majorC
"Who there my cross hath shared
G+G D MajorD
Finds here a crown prepared
G+G C majorC
Who there with me hath died
G+G D MajorD G+G
Shall here be glorified."
