And live this day as if thy last;
Thy talents to improve take care;
For the great day thyself prepare.
3 Let all thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noonday clear;
For God’s all-seeing eye surveys
Thy secret thoughts, thy words and ways.
4 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels take thy part;
Who all night long unwearied sing
