154. Awake, my heart, and honor

1 Awake, my heart, and honor With praise and thanks and might Thy God and Thy Creator, And sentinel at night! The morning sun with splendor Proclaims its Maker’s fame; Anthems of praise do render, All ye who bear His name. 2 To all parts under heaven Thy truth and faith extend; We see each morn and even Thy grace of covenant. Let us this day consider, Oh, Lord, Thy kindliness; Our heart and soul together Inspire with thankfulness. 3 My heartfelt thanks I bring Thee; Salvation I have found. As Thou hast suffered for me, In love to Thee I’m bound. And what Thou, Lord, hast given I consecrate to Thee. O, lead us, Lord, to heaven, Where we Thy glory see!
