Hymnal and Liturgies of the Moravian Church ‎#40

40. Rise, My Soul, Adore Thy Maker

1 Rise, my soul, adore thy Maker;
Angels praise; join the lays,
With them be partaker.
Father, Lord of every spirit,
In Thy might, lead me right
Through my Savior’s merit.

2 O my God, be ever near me;
For Thy rest, for Thy feast,
More and more prepare me.
Still assure me of my calling;
kept by Thee, let me be
Saved from final falling.

3 Thou this night wast my Protector;
With me stay, all the day,
Ever my Director.
Holy, holy, holy Giver
Of all good, life and food,
Reign adored for ever.
