T. Ken (419/413) -- Hymns and Spiritual Songs

T. Ken 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 In conversation be sincere, Keep conscience as the noonday clear; Think how all-seeing God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys. 3 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. 4 May I, like them, in God delight; Have all day long my God in sight! Perform, like them, my Maker’s will, And celebrate His glories still. 5 Glory to Thee who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me whilst I slept; Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless light partake. 6 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. 7 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.
