Tune:MORNING HYMN
Arranger:Samuel Sebastian Wesley, 1810-76
Composer:François Hippolyte Barthélémon, 1741-1808

42(ii). Awake, my soul, and with the sun

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 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.

4 Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All I design, or do, or say,
That all my pow3rs, with all their might
In thy sole glory may unite.

5 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.

Amen.
