Morning

Awake, my soul, and with the sun

Thy daily stage of duty run;

Shake off dull sloth, and gladly rise

To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Awake, lift up thyself, my heart,

And with the angels bear thy part,

Who all night long unwearied sing

High praise to our eternal King.

All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept

And hast refreshed me while I slept:

Grant, Lord, that when from death I wake,

I may of endless light partake!

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.

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.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Amen.
