621. 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 By influence of the light divine,
Let thy own light to others shine;
Reflect all heaven's propitious rays
In 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 or do or say;
That all my power's with all their might
In thy sole glory may unite.

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