Lyics

GOD 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.
