My soul, awake thou from thy sleep
"It is good to praise the Lord” Psalm92:1
My soul, awake thou from thy sleep,
Thy life like shadow's passing-by,
Rise up and work, rise up from sleep
And do the work, you have. Today.
My soul, awake from sleep, and sing,
With all thy heart, faithfully sing,
The praise of Jesus Christ, the Lord
Thy refuge and thy strength and hope.
Give not thy-self to laziness.
Nor to rage and licentiousness
Do what the Lord commanded thee
That you should render unto Him.
Keep watch over thy heart today
God is watching ov'r thee today,
Watching thy thought, thy life thy mind,
By noon, by eve, by day, by night,
My God, I surrender myself,
Unto Thee wholly and complete
Make me to live a life for Thee,
That all my thoughts before Thee pure.
