O my soul, awake
And praise your God.
O my soul, awake and praise Him!

1

The night has passed.
By the strength of the One who gave you life,
Come and lift up His holy name
And praise Him wholeheartedly.

2

All living creatures
Praise the glory of God
With beautiful sounds
As much as they are able.

3

He has broken the terrible chains
Of darkness through His Son,
And caused the light of His face
To shine upon you.

4

He drives every evil far away
And pours out fresh grace upon you
Day after day
Through His Son.

5

Blessed is the one who rises early
And waits at the doorway of wisdom,
Who does not delay
But learns and follows the way of life.

6

Praise to the Eternal Father,
Praise to the One who conquered death,
And praise to the Holy Spirit—
From the beginning, now, and forever.
