HYMNS. 1 I. DAILY PRAYER. Morning. JEW every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; L. M. Through sleep and darkness safely brought, 2 New mercies, each returning day, 3 If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, 5 The trivial round, the common task, To bring us daily nearer God. 2 6 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, AW PART I. WAKE, my soul, and with the sun 2 Redeem thy misspent time that's past, 3 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, L. M. PART II. 4 All praise to Thee, Who safe hast kept, 5 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Scatter my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, 6 Direct, control, suggest, this day, That all my powers, with all their might, 7 Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; The Doxology may be sung also at the end of Part I. 3 COME, my soul, thou must be waking, Now is breaking O'er the earth another day: Come, to Him Who made this splendor All thy feeble strength can pay. 2 Pray that He may prosper ever When thine aim is good and true; When thou evil wouldst pursue. 3 Think that He thy ways beholdeth ; Every fault that lurks within; And discern each deed of sin. 4 Mayest thou on life's last morrow, Free from sorrow, Pass away in slumber sweet; And, released from death's dark sadness, That far brighter Sun to greet.
