CHURCH HYMNAL. Morning. 1 "I myself will awake right early." 1 AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun 2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, 3 All praise to Thee, Who safe hast kept, 4 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew, 5 Direct, control, suggest, this day, That all my powers, with all their might, Praise God from Whom, &c. (Doxology v.) 2 "Unto you that fear my Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise." 1 CHRIST, Whose glory fills the skies, Triumph o'er the shades of night: 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn Till Thy mercy's beams I see- 3 Visit then this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief, Scatter all my unbelief: More and more Thyself display, 3 "When I awake, I am still with Thee.” 1 THROUGH all the dangers of the night, Again we hail the cheerful light, 2 O guide us, Lord, throughout the day, For they are safe, and only they, 3 Let all our words and all our ways That so the light of truth and grace 4 Let us ne'er turn away from Thee; Amen. 4 "His compassions fail not; they are new every morning. 1 NEW every morning is the love Through sleep and darkness safely brought, 2 New mercies, each returning day, 3 If, on our daily course, our mind New treasures still, of countless price, 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, 5 The trivial round, the common task, 6 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray. Amen. 5 "He that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.' 1 O JESU, Lord of heavenly grace, Thou brightness of the Father's face, Thou fountain of eternal light, Whose beams disperse the shades of night; 2 Come, Holy Sun of heavenly love, 3 May He our actions deign to bless, 4 May faith, deep rooted in the soul, 5 O hallow'd thus be every day; 6 O Christ, with each returning morn Our Saviour and our God in Thee. Amen |
