Original text and translations
English text
- 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.
- Thy precious time misspent, redeem,
- Each present day thy last esteem,
- Improve thy talent with due care;
- For the great day thyself prepare.
- 3.
- By influence of the Light divine
- Let thy own light to others shine.
- Reflect all Heaven’s propitious ways
- In ardent love, and cheerful praise.
- 4.
- In conversation be sincere;
- Keep conscience as the noontide clear;
- Think how all seeing God thy ways
- And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
- 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.:
- 6.
- All praise to Thee, who safe has kept
- And hast refreshed me while I slept
- Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake
- I may of endless light partake.
- 7.
- Heav’n is, dear Lord, where’er Thou art,
- O never then from me depart;
- For to my soul ’tis hell to be
- But for one moment void of Thee.
- 8.
- 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.
- 9.
- 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.
- 10.
- I would not wake nor rise again
- And Heaven itself I would disdain,
- Wert Thou not there to be enjoyed,
- And I in hymns to be employed.
- 11.
- 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.
Lyrics: Thomas Ken, Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Scholars of Winchester College, 1674.
