Awake, my soul, and with the sun / Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise / To pay thy morning sacrifice.
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise / To pay thy morning sacrifice.
Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; / Disperse my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will, / And with Thyself my spirit fill.
Guard my first springs of thought and will, / And with Thyself my spirit fill.
Direct, suggest, control this day / All I design, or do, or say,
That all my pow'rs, with all their might, / In Thy sole glory may unite.
That all my pow'rs, with all their might, / In Thy sole glory may unite.
Heav'n is, dear Lord, where'er Thou art; / O never then from me depart,
For to my soul 'tis Hell to be / But for one moment void of Thee.
For to my soul 'tis Hell to be / But for one moment void of Thee.
All praise to Thee, Who safe hast kept, / And hast refreshed me while I slept;
Grant, Lord, when I from Death shall wake / I may of endless Light partake.
Grant, Lord, when I from Death shall wake / I may of endless Light partake.
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; / Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; / Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; / Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
