Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun

 

1. 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.

2. Thy precious time mis-spent redeem,
Each present day thy last esteem;ㅍ
Improve thy talent with due care;
For the great day thyself prepare.

3. Let all thy converse be sincere;
Thy conscience as the noonday clear;
Think how all-seeing God thy ways
And all thy secret thoughts surveys.

4. By influence of the light divine
Let thy own light in good works shine;ㅍ
Reflect all heaven’s propitious ways
In ardent love and cheerful praise.

5. Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praise to the eternal King.

6. 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.
