SOWER • Hymns & Music

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 All praise 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 light partake.

4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew; 
Disperse my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will, 
And with thyself my spirit fill.

5 Direct, control, suggest, this day,  
All I design to do, or say,
That all my powers, with all their might, 
In thy sole glory may unite.

6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; 
Praise him, all creatures, here below;
Praise him above, ye heav'nly host; 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
