Awake, my heart! my soul, arise!
Author: Anon. Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart! my soul, arise!
This is the day believers prize;
Improve this Sabbath, then, with care;
Another may not be thy share.
2 O, solemn thought! Lord, give me power,
Wisely to fill up every hour;
O for the wings of faith and love
To bear my longing heart above!
3 Jesus, assist, nor let me fail
To worship thee within the vail,
To glorify thy matchless grace,
To see the beauties of thy face.
4 Be with me in thy house to-day,
And tune my heart to praise and pray;
Command thy word to fall like dew,
Refreshing, quickening all anew.
5 Call forth my thoughts, and let them rove
O'er the green pastures of thy love;
O let not sin prevent my rest,
Nor keep me from my Saviour's breast. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Used With Tune: PARK STREET

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Awake, my heart! my soul, arise!" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Susannah Harrison
1752 - 1784 Person Name: Susanna Harrison Author of "Awake my heart, my soul arise" Harrison, Susanna, invalided from her work as a domestic servant at the age of 20, published Songs in the Night, 1780. This included 133 hymns, and passed through ten editions. She is known by "Begone, my worldly cares, away," and "O happy souls that love the Lord." Born in 1752 and died Aug. 3, 1784.
--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
================================
Harrison, Susanna. (1752--August 3, 1784, Ipswich, England). The preface to the first edition of her collected hymns, Songs in the night, 1780, states that she was "a very obscure young woman, and quite destitute of the advantages of education, as well as under great bodily affliction. Her father dying when she was young, and leaving a large family unprovided for, she went out to service at sixteen years of age."
In August 1722, she became ill, probably with tuberculosis, and returned to her mother's home. She taught herself to write and in her remaining years she wrote 142 hymns which, with a few meditations, were published as Songs in the night by an anonymous editor, perhaps her rector. So sincere yet vivid is the expression of her faith as she faced certain death that by 1847 there had been eleven editions printed in England and seven additional ones in America.
Individual hymns remained popular in America during much of the nineteenth century due to the constant preoccupation with death in both urban and frontier life, reflected in the large sections of funeral hymns in most hymnals.
