Father, this slumber shake

From off my heavy soul!

Say to me now,—awake! awake!

And I will make thee whole!

Touch with Thy strengthening hand;

Arouse me in this hour;

And make me fully understand

The thunder of Thy power.

Give me on Thee to call;

Always to watch and pray,

Lest I into temptation fall,

And cast my shield away.

For each assault prepared

And watchful may I be,

Forever standing on my guard,

And looking unto Thee.
