Tune: | MORNING HYMN |
Composer: | François H. Barthélémon, (1741-1808) |
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 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.
3 All praise to Thee, Who safe hast kept
And hath refreshed me while I slept;
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake
I may of endless life partake.
4 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.
5 Direct, control, suggest, this day
All I design, or do, or say,
That all my powers, with all their might,
In Thy sole glory may unite.
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.
Amen.
