LyicsLORD, in the morning I will send
My cries to reach thy ear;
Thou art my gather and my friend,
My help for evernear.
O lead me, keep me, all this day,
Near thee in perfect peace;
Help me to watch, to watch and pray,
To pray and never cease.
I know my roving feet will err,
Unless thou be my guide,
Warn me of ev'ry foe and snare,
And keep me near thy side.
Thou shall I pass all dangers safe,
And tread the tempter down;
My trust, my hope, joy and relief,
Shall be in the alone.
Then let my moments sweetly run,
And sing my hours away;
Till evening shades and setting suns,
Conclude in endless day.
