LyicsAWAKE, my soul, to meet the day,
Unfold thy drowsy eyes;
And burst the pond'rous chain that loads
Thine active faculties.
God's gaurdianshiled was round me spread,
In my defenceless sleep;
Let him have all my waking hours
Who doth my slumbers keep.
I for this hour must give account;
Before God's awful throne;
Let not this hour neglected pass,
As thousands more have done.
Pardon, O God, my former sloth,
And arm my soul with grace;
As rising now, I seal my vows,
To prosecute thy ways.
