Sleep has refresh’d our limbs, we spring + 

From off our bed, and rise; + 

Lord, on Thy suppliants, while they sing, + 

Look with a Father’s eyes. + 

Be Thou the first on every tongue, + 

The first in every heart; + 

That at all our doings all day long, + 

Holiest! from Thee may start. + 

Cleanse Thou the gloom, and bid the light + 

Its healing beams renew; + 

The sins, which have crept in with night, + 

With night shall vanish too. + 

Our bosoms, Lord, unburthen Thou, + 

Let nothing there offend; + 

That those who hymn Thy praises now + 

May hymn them to the end. + 

Grant this, O Father, Only Son, + 

And Spirit, God of grace, + 

To whom all worship shall be done + 

In every time and place. + 
