Awake, my heart, and render
To God thy sure defender,
Thy maker, thy preserver,
A song of love and fervor.
Confirm my deeds and guide me.
My day, with thee beside me,
Beginning, middle, ending,
Will all be upward tending.
My heart shall be thy dwelling,
With joy and gladness swelling;
Thy word is my nurture,
Given to bring me on toward heaven.
Awake, my heart, and render
To God thy sure defender,
Thy maker, thy preserver,
A song of love and fervor.
