RCCG Hymn 5
Awake My Soul and with the Sun
"Awake, psaltery, and harp; I myself will awake early" - Ps. 108:2
Awake, my soul, and with the sun, Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and joyfully rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.
Thy precious time mis-spent redeem; Each present day thy last esteem; Improve thy talent with due care; For the great day thyself prepare.
Let all thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noontide clear, Think how all see God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
By influence of the light divine, Let Thy own light to others shine: Reflect all Heav'n propitious ways In ardent love and cheerful praise.
Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy path Who all night long unwearied sing High praise to the eternal King.
I wake, I wake, ye heav'nly choir, May your devotion me inspire, That I like you my age may spend, Like you may on my God attend.
