my

soul ! and with the sun, Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake of dull sloth and early rise, To pay thy morning sacrifice. Glory to thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refresh'd me while I slept; Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless life partake. 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. Direct, controul, suggest, this day, Whate'er I do, whate'er I say; That all my powrs, with all their might, In thy sole glory may unite. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him all creatures here below; Praise him above ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
