I

WAKE, my soul, and with the sun

Thy daily stage of duty run;

Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Redeem thy mis-spent time that's past,
And live this day as if thy last;

Improve thy talent with due care ;
For the great day thyself prepare.
Let all thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noon-day clear;
Think how all-seeing God thy ways,
And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
By influence of the Light divine,
Let thine own light in good works shine;
Reflect all Heaven's propitious rays
In ardent love and cheerful praise.

Lord, I my vows to Thee renew ;
Scatter my sins as morning dew;

Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with Thyself my spirit fill.

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.

ff Praise God, from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Angels and Saints His name adore!
With praise and joy for evermore.
