    A hymn written by Isaac Watts. (in common meter)

    Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

    "Spiritual Blessings"

    1. Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue,
    Prepare a tuneful voice;
    In God, the life of all my joys,
    Aloud will I rejoice.

    2. 'Tis He adorn'd my naked soul,
    And made salvation mine;
    Upon a poor polluted worm
    He makes His graces shine.

    3. And lest the shadow of a spot
    Should on my soul be found,
    He took the robe the Saviour wrought,
    And cast it all around.

    4. How far the heav'nly robe exceeds
    What earthly princes wear!
    These ornaments, how bright they shine!
    How white the garments are!

    5. The Spirit wrought my faith, and love,
    And hope, and ev'ry grace;
    And Jesus spent His life to work
    The robe of righteousness.

    6. Strangely, my soul, art thou array'd
    By the great sacred Three!
    In sweetest harmony of praise
    Let all my pow'rs agree.
