1. Awake, my heart, and honor
With praise and thanks and might
Thy God and Thy Creator,
And sentinel at night!
The morning sun with splendor
Proclaims its Maker’s fame;
Anthems of praise do render,
All ye who bear His name.
2. To all parts under heaven
Thy truth and faith extend;
We see each morn and even
Thy grace of covenant.
Let us this day consider,
Oh, Lord, Thy kindliness;
Our heart and soul together
Inspire with thankfulness.
3. My heartfelt thanks I bring Thee;
Salvation I have found.
As Thou hast suffered for me,
In love to Thee I’m bound.
And what Thou, Lord, hast given
I consecrate to Thee.
O, lead us, Lord, to heaven,
Where we Thy glory see!
With praise and thanks and might
Thy God and Thy Creator,
And sentinel at night!
The morning sun with splendor
Proclaims its Maker’s fame;
Anthems of praise do render,
All ye who bear His name.
2. To all parts under heaven
Thy truth and faith extend;
We see each morn and even
Thy grace of covenant.
Let us this day consider,
Oh, Lord, Thy kindliness;
Our heart and soul together
Inspire with thankfulness.
3. My heartfelt thanks I bring Thee;
Salvation I have found.
As Thou hast suffered for me,
In love to Thee I’m bound.
And what Thou, Lord, hast given
I consecrate to Thee.
O, lead us, Lord, to heaven,
Where we Thy glory see!
