HYMN XXXV.
At DRESSING in the MORNING.
Now I arise, impow'r'd by Thee,
The glorious sun to face;
O cloath me with humility,
Adorn me with thy grace.
5 All evil of the day forefend,
Prevent the Tempter's snare;
Thine Angel on my steps attend,
And give me fruit to pray'r.
O make me useful as I go
10 My pilgrimage along;
And sweetly sooth this vale of woe
By charity and song.
Let me from Christ obedience learn,
To Christ obedience pay;
15Each parent duteous love return,
And consecrate the day.
