MHB 931 – AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun

Methodist-Hymns-931

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:  Redeem Thy misspent moments past,
And live this day as if thy last;
Improve thy talent with due care;
For the great day thyself prepare.

3:  Let all Thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noonday clear;
For God’s all seeing eye surveys
Thy secret thoughts, thy words and ways.

4:  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.

5:  All praise to thee, who safe hast kept,
And hast refreshed me whilst I slept.
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.

6:  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.

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

8:  Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise him, all creatures here below,
Praise him above, angelic host,
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
