Verse 1

MORNING comes with light all-cheering, Shades of night have fled apace; Sources of light, by Thine appearing, From our minds all darkness chase: Thou hast blest us in our sleep; Through the day direct and keep.

Verse 2

Earth refreshed Thy praise is sounding, All Thy works Thy glory sing; May our hearts, with love abound-ing, Gratefully their tribute bring: Thou hast taught the birds their lays; Teach our hearts to sing Thy praise.

Verse 3

All day long to praise Thee help us, And to strive against all sin; Finding all our help in Jesus, Who for us the fight did win: He was tempted here below, And doth all our weakness know.

Verse 4

Man goes to his work till evening Brings again the needed rest; Grant that we, Thy grace receiving, May in all we do be blest; And wherever we may be Find our joy in pleasing Thee. Amen
