Hymn 5
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
- f 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.
- Thy precious time mis-spent redeem;
Each present day thy last esteem;
Improve thy talent with due care;
For the great day thyself prepare.
- mf Let all thy converse be sincere.
Thy conscience as the noontide clear.
Think how all seeing God thy ways
And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
- By influence of the light Divine
Let Thy own light to others shine:
Reflect all Heav'ns propitious rays
In ardent love and cheerful praise.
- f 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.
- f I wake, I wake, ye heav'nly choir.
May your devotion me inspire.
That I, like you, my age may spend.
Like you may on my God attend.
Christly Living
