Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #337 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal Lyrics: 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 Glory to Thee, who safe has kept
And has refreshed me while I slept;
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.
4 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.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer and Intercession; God Guidance; Opening Scripture: Psalm 108:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY
