Author: Rev. Henry J. Buckoll; F. R. L. von Canitz Hymnal: The Hymnal #487 (1950) Meter: 8.4.7.8.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thou must be waking;
Now is breaking
O'er the earth another day:
Come to Him who made this splendor;
See thou render
All thy feeble powers can pay.
2 Thou, too, hail the light 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 His Spirit's voice obey;
Thou with Him shalt dwell, beholding
Light enfolding
All things in unclouded day.
Amen. Topics: Special Seasons and Services Schools and Colleges; Cheerfulness; Colleges and Schools; Discipleship and Service; Morning; School and College; Watchfulness Tune Title: COLUMBIA COLLEGE
