EN 1853 When I Awake from Slumber
Ps.139.18
Versi Version 1
1
When I awake from slumber
To greet the golden day,
Then teach me, Lord, to number
Its hours in wisdom’s way.
2
When clouds at dawn are gleaming,
Lift up mine answering eyes
To where Thy light is streaming
On faith’s high enterprise.
3
While all the heights are calling
And skies are blithe and blue,
Keep Thou my feet from falling,
My heart’s ambitions true.
4
Let simple pleasures cheer me
When every goal seems far;
Reveal Thyself as near me
As life and duty are.
5
And when the light is fading,
If dreams have not come true,
Yet breathe Thy peace pervading
The twilight through and through.
6
When life’s long day is ended
And shadows closer creep,
Lord, let me feel befriended
Before I go to sleep.
