Author: Friedrich R. L. von Canitz, d. 1699; Henry J. Buckoll Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #39 (1957) Meter: 8.4.7.8.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thou must be waking;
Now is breaking
O'er the earth another day.
Come, to Him who made this splendor;
See thou render
All thy feeble strength can pay.
2 Gladly hail the sun returning;
Ready burning
Be the incense of thy powers;
For the night is safely ended;
God hath tended
With His care thy helpless hours.
3 Pray that He may prosper ever
Each endeavor,
When thine arm is good and true;
But that He may ever thwart thee,
And convert thee,
When thou evil wouldst pursue.
4 Only God's free gifts abuse not,
Light refuse not,
But His Spirit's voice obey.
Thou with Him shalt dwell, beholding
Light enfolding
All things in unclouded day.
Amen. Topics: Worship Morning Scripture: Ephesians 5:14-17 Tune Title: HAYDN
