[D] [G]
Awake, awake, lift up your eyes, [C] and pray to God for [G] grace.
[C] Repent, repent of your former [G] sins, while ye have time and space.
I have been wandering all this night, [C] and most part of [G] this day.
[C] So now I have [G] come for to sing you a song, and to show you a branch of May.
A branch of May I have brought you, [C] and at your door [G] it stands.
[C] It does spread out, and it [G] spreads all about, by the work [F#] of our [G] Lord's hands.
Man is but a man, his life's but a span, [C] he is much like a [G] flower.
[C] He is here today, and [G] gone tomorrow, so he's all [F#] gone down in [G] an hour.
So now I have sung you a little short song, [C] a cat no [G] longer's day.
[C] God bless you all, for [G]
great has more, [D] and I wish you a [G] happy May.
