To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Each present day thy last esteem;
Improve thy talent with due care
For the great day thyself prepare.

Thy conscience asthe montide clear,
Think how all-seeing God thy ways
And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
4. By influenceof the light Divine,
Let thy own light too thers shine,
Reflect all Heaven‘s propitious rays
ln ardent love and cheerful praise.
5. Wake, and lift up thyself my heart,
And with the angels bear thy pan,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praise to the eternal King.
6. I wake, I wake, ye heavenly choir
May your devotion me inspire
That I, like you my age may spend,
Like you may on my God attend. Amen
