Awake, my soul, to meet the day;
Unfold, thy drowsy eyes,
And burst the ponderous chain that loads
Thine active faculties.
God's guardian shield was round me spread
In my defenseless sleep:
Let him have all my waking hours
Who doth my slumbers keep.
Pardon, O God, my former sloth,
And arm my soul with grace;
As rising now, I seal my vows
To prosecute thy ways.
Bright Sun of righteousness, arise;
Thy radiant beams display,
And guide my dark, bewildered soul
To everlasting day.
