Lyics

AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun

Thy daily course of duty run;

Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise

To pay thy morning sacrifice.



Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,

And with the angels bear thy part,

Who, all night long, unwearied, sing

Glory to the Eternal King.



Glory to thee, who safe has kept,

And hast refreshed me, while I slept!

Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,

I may of endless life partake.



Lord, I my vows to thee renew:

Scatter my sins as morning dew:

Guard my first springs of thought and will,

And with thyself my spirit fill.
