LyicsTHOU that dost my life prolong,
Kindly aid my morning song:
Thankful from my couch arise,
To the God that rules the skies.
Thou didst hear my ev'ning cry;
Thy preserving hand was nigh:
Peaceful slumbers thou hast shed,
Grateful to my weary head.
Thou has kept me through the night;
''Twas thy hand restor'd the light;
Lord, thy mercies still are new,
Plenteous as the morning dew.
Still my feet are prone to stray;
O preserve me through the day:
Dangers ev'rywhere abound,
Sins and snares beset me round.
Gently, with the dawning ray,
On my soul thy beams display;
Sweeter than the smiling morn,
Let thy cheering light return.
