Venkateshwara Suprabhatam - first 4 stanzas.

Om

Kausalya supraja Rama purva sandhya pravartate
O auspicious son of Kausalya, Rama, the twilight is approaching from the East

utthista narasardhula kartavyam daivamahnikam
wake up so the divine daily karmas can be performed



utthista utthista govinda utthista garuda dhwaja
Wake up, wake up O Govinda, one who has Garuda on his flag wake up
 
utthista kamala kanta trilokyam mangalam kurum
wake up, O husband of Sri Lakshmi, render the three worlds auspicious



Matassamasta jagatam madhukaita bhare
O mother of all the worlds, Sri Lakshmi, the enemy of Madhu and Kaitabha

vaksho viharini manohara divya murte
one who dwells inside the chest of the beautiful divine personality



sriswamini sritajana priya dhanasheele
One who bestows whatever is desired by seekers of refuge

Sri Venkatesa dayate tavasuprabhatam
O divine Venkateshwara, this wake up hymn is dedicated to you.

Though it seems ridiculous that the verse tries to wake up the One who wills any happening any time, the subtle meaning is only to awaken the inner self within humans, which is a part of the Super soul.
