Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- Come, my soul, thou must be waking;
- Now is breaking over the earth another day;
- Come to Him Who made this splendor;
- See thou render all thy feeble powers can pay.
- 2.
- Thou, too, hail the light returning
- Ready burning be the incense of thy powers;
- For the night is safely ended,
- God hath tended with His care thy helpless hours.
- 3.
- Pray that He may prosper ever
- Each endeavor when thine aim is good and true;
- But that He may ever thwart thee,
- And convert thee, when thou evil wouldst pursue.
- 4.
- Think that He thy ways beholdeth;
- He unfoldeth every fault that lurks within;
- He the hidden shame glossed over
- Can discover, and discern each deed of sin.
- 5.
- Mayest thou on life’s last morrow,
- Free from sorrow, pass away in slumber sweet:
- And, released from death’s dark sadness,
- Rise in gladness that far brighter Sun to greet.
- 6.
- Only God’s free gifts abuse not,
- Light refuse not, but His Spirit’s voice obey;
- Thou with Him shalt dwell, beholding
- Light enfolding all things in unclouded day.
Lyrics: Friedrich Rudolf Ludwig Freiherr von Canitz, 1700 (Seele du musst munter werden); translated from German to English by Henry J. Buckoll, 1838.
