Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run.
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.


'Morning Hymn' in Winchester College Manual of Prayers (1695) but already in use by 1674


Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run. Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run. Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run. Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run. Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.
