| − | <pre>Hymn 200
| |
| − | L.M.
| |
| − | 1. Awake my soul, and with the sun
| |
| − | Thy daily course of duty run;
| |
| − | Shake off dull sloth, and early rise
| |
| − | To pay thy morning sacrifice.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. Redeem thy mispent time that's past;
| |
| − | Live this day as if 'twere thy last:
| |
| − | To improve thy talents take due care;
| |
| − | 'Gainst the great day thyself prepare.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3. Let all thy converse be sincere,
| |
| − | Thy conscience as the noon-day clear;
| |
| − | Think how the all-seeing God, thy ways,
| |
| − | And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4. Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
| |
| − | And with the angels bear thy part;
| |
| − | Who all night long unwearied sing,
| |
| − | Glory to thee, eternal King.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 5. I wake, I wake, ye heavenly choir;
| |
| − | May your devotion me inspire;
| |
| − | That I like you my days may spend,
| |
| − | Like you may on my God attend.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 6. May I like you in God delight,
| |
| − | Have all day long my God in sight;
| |
| − | Perform like you my Maker's will;
| |
| − | O! may I never more do ill.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 7. 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 8. Lord I my vows to thee renew;
| |
| − | Scatter my sins as morning dew;
| |
| − | Guard my first spring of thought and will,
| |
| − | And with thyself my spirit fill.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 9. 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 10. Praise God from whom all blessings flow
| |
| − | Praise him, all creatures here below:
| |
| − | Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
| |
| − | Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.</pre>
