Lyics

See how the rising sun

Pursues his shining way;

And wide proclaims his Maker's praise

With every brightening ray.



Thus would my rising soul

Its heavenly parent sing;

And to its great Original 

An humble tribute bring.



Oh may I grateful use

The blessings I receive!

And ne'er in thought, in word, or deed,

His Holy Spirit grieve.
