MORNING HYMN.
My God! in morning's radiant hour,
To Thee would I lift up my heart;
The shades of night obey thy power,
And at thy sun's bright beams depart.
To Thee would I lift up my heart;
The shades of night obey thy power,
And at thy sun's bright beams depart.
From sleep's deep trance my thoughts arise,
Obedient to Thy mighty call;
With all their powers and energies,
And at thy will thou kindlest all.
Obedient to Thy mighty call;
With all their powers and energies,
And at thy will thou kindlest all.
Father and Guardian! to thy shrine,
The life thou shieldest will I bring;
All, Great Creator! all is thine,
My heart, the noblest offering!
The life thou shieldest will I bring;
All, Great Creator! all is thine,
My heart, the noblest offering!
The morning light shall see my prayer,
The noon-day heats shall witness praise;
In evening gloom, and cooler air,
The grateful hymn I still will raise.
The noon-day heats shall witness praise;
In evening gloom, and cooler air,
The grateful hymn I still will raise.
