Morning

Thomas Ken (1695) • English

Primary Scripture: Genesis 16:13

Verse 1

Awake, my soul, and with the sun thy daily stage of duty run; shake off dull sloth, and early rise to pay thy morning sacrifice.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

Direct, control, suggest, this day, all I design or do or say, that all my pow'rs, with all their might, in Thy sole glory may unite.

Verse 4

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him all creatures here below; praise Him above, ye heav'enly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
