154. Awake, Thy Thanks to Render

1. Awake, thy thanks to render,
My soul, and praise with might
Thy Maker and Defender,
Who guardeth through the night!
The sun its light is bringing
To make God’s glory known;
So praise His name with singing,
Who calleth thee His own!

2. So far as heaven extendeth,
Thy truth, Lord, reacheth too;
And to our view Thou sendest
The grace forever new.
O Lord, let us be feeling
Today Thy love and grace;
May our hearts be revealing
Their love and thankfulness.

3. I now my heart’s thanksgiving
For my redemption bring;
Now for Thy cross I’m giving
Myself as offering!
And all that Thou hast given
I hallow it to Thee; -
O lead my steps to heaven
Where I with Thee shall be!
