LyicsSee how the rising sun
Pursues his shining way;
And wide proclaims his Maker's praise,
With ev'ry bright'ning ray.
Thus would my rising soul
Its heav'nly parent sing;
And to its great Original
An humble tribute bring.
O may I grateful use
The blessings I receive;
And ne'er in thought, in word, or deed,
His holy Spirit grieve.
May all my days and pow's
Be sacred, Lord, to thee;
And in thy presence may I spend
A blest eternity!
