Answer
The sun
It is I all should thank who gives you so much power
No life without the sun's energy (= power)
In the age of the ankh I was loved by the sower
The Egyptian sun god Ra. The ankh was an important symbol in that era.
High up the firmament beyond the greatest tower
The sun is high in the sky, way beyond mortal reach.
Be it any instant half a world I devour
One half of Earth has the sun (day), the other does not (night)

$\begingroup$ +1, although (1) this has the same answer as the first answer (but yours provides explanations and the other doesn't) and (2) IMHO, you could do better with the "sower" clue. $\endgroup$ May 26, 2016 at 20:19

Are you:
Nutritions/Food?
It is I all should thank who gives you so much power
Food gives us strength.
In the age of the ankh I was loved by the sower
The sower were always hunger and happy to get food.
High up the firmament beyond the greatest tower
Food used to be locked up (such as grain) in huge towers by the wealthy.
Be it any instant half a world I devour
Half the world is in hunger, so without the food they devour.

$\begingroup$ One catch, food being locked by in towers doesn't make then beyond the towers $\endgroup$ May 27, 2016 at 7:06
