1 My soul, awake, and render
To God, thy great Defender,
Thy prayer and adoration
For His kind preservation.
2 With joy I still discover
Thy light, O Lord, my Savior;
My thanks shall be the spices
Of morning sacrifices.
3 Bless every thought and action;
Afford me Thy direction;
To Thee alone be tending
Beginning, middle, ending.
4 Be Thou my only treasure;
Fulfill in me Thy pleasure;
May I, in every station,
Give Thee due adoration.
