Author: Friedrich R. L. von Canitz; Henry J. Buckoll Hymnal: Worship in Song #31 (1996) Meter: 8.4.7 D Hymnal Title: Worship in Song Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thou must be waking;
Now is breaking
Over the earth another day;
Come to him who made this splendor;
See thou render
All thy feeble strength can pay.
2 Gladly hail the sun returning;
Ready burning
Be the incense of thy powers;
For the night is safely ended;
God hath tended
With his care thy helpless hours.
3 Pray that he may prosper ever
Each endeavor,
When thine aim is good and true;
But that he may ever thwart thee,
And convert thee,
When thou evil wouldst pursue.
4 Only God's free gifts abuse not,
Light refuse not,
But this Spirit's voice obey;
Thou with him shalt dwell, beholding
Light enfolding
All things in unclouded day. Topics: Creation; Day; God's Care; Light; Morning; Obedience; Spirit of God Tune Title: HAYDN
