Verse 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.
Verse 2
Thy precious time misspent, redeem, Each present day thy last esteem,
Improve thy talent with due care; For the great day thyself prepare.
Verse 3
By influence of Light divine Let thy own light to others shine.
Reflect all Heaven's propitious ways In ardent love, and cheerful praise.
Verse 4
In conversation be sincere; Keep conscience as the noontide clear;
Think how all seeing God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
Verse 5
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.
