LyicsGOD of my life, my morning song
To thee I cheerful raise:
Thine acts of love 'tis good to sing,
And pleasant 'tis to praise.
Preserv'd by thy almighty arm,
I pass'd the shades of night,
Serene, and safe from ev'ry harm,
To see the morning light.
While numbers spent the night in sighs,
And restless pains and woes,
In gentle sleep I clos'd my eyes,
And woke from sweet repose.
O let the same almighty care
Through all this day attend:
From ev'ry danger, ev'ry snare,
My heedless steps defend.
Smile on my minutes as they roll,
And guide my future days;
And let thy goodness fill my soul
With gratitude and praise.
