402. 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 early rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 By influ'nce of the light divine,
Let thy own light to others shine;
Reflect all heav'ns propitious rays,
I ardent love and cheerful praise.

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 to do or say;
That ll my pow'rs, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.

5 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept,
And hast refresh'd me, while I slept!
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless light partake.
