2 HYMN. L. M. 1 AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun 2 Glory to Thee, who safe hast kept, 3 Direct, control, suggest, this day, 3 That all my powers, with all their might, HYMN. L. M. 1 GOD of the morning, at thy voice To run his journey through the skies. 2 O! like the sun, may I fulfil Th' appointed duties of the day; With ready mind, and active will, March on, and keep my heav'nly way. 3 Lord, thy commands are clean and pure, Enlightening our beclouded eyes; Thy threatenings just-thy promise sure Thy gospel makes the simple wise. 4 Give me thy counsels for my guide, And then receive me to thy bliss; 4 All my desires and hopes beside HYMN. C. M. 1 GOD of my life, my morning song 2 Preserv'd by thy almighty arm, 3 While numbers spent the night in sighs, 4 Oh let the same almighty care 5 Smile on my minutes as they roll, 1 THOU that dost my life prolong, 2 Thou didst hear my ev'ning cry; 3 Thou hast kept me through the night 'T was thy hand restor❜d the light: Lord, thy mercies still are new, Plenteous as the morning dew. 4 Still my feet are prone to stray; 1 O LORD, how many are my foes, But my defence and hope is God. 2 Tired with the burdens of the day, 3 Supported by thine heav'nly aid, laid me down and slept secure; Not death should make my heart afraid, Though I should wake and rise no more. 4 But God sustain'd me all the night; Salvation doth to God belong: 7 He raised my head to see the light, HYMN. C. M. 1 THOU, gracious Lord, art my defence: Thou art my glory, and shalt yet 2 Guarded by him, I laid me down, 3 Salvation to the Lord belongs; His blessing he extends to all 8 HYMN. S. M. Prayer for spiritual light. 1 WE lift our hearts to Thee, Thou Day-Star from on high; Dispel the shades of night; 3 How beauteous nature now! How dark and sad before! 4 May we this life improve 9 To mourn for errors past; And live this short revolving day HYMN. S. M. Morning Meditation. 1 AWAKE, my drowsy soul, 2 See how the rising sun Pursues his shining way; And wide proclaims his Maker's praise, 3 Thus would my rising soul 4 Serene, I laid me down Beneath his guardian care; 5 Dear Saviour, to thy cross, I bring my sacrifice; Ting'd with thy blood, it shall ascend God's goodness renewed every Morning and Evening. 1 GREAT GOD! my early vows to thee With gratitude I'll bring; And at the rosy dawn of day Thy lofty praises sing. 2 Thou, round the heav'nly arch dost draw And all the beauties of the world, 3 Again the sky with golden beams And paint, with cheerful splendour gay, 4 And as the gloomy night returns, Thy constant goodness still my soul 5 For this will I my vows to thee 1 ONCE more my eyes behold the day, O may the life preserv'd by thee |
