LyicsThe morning light returns,
The sun begins to shine;
Now let our souls in haste arise,
To run the race divine.
We praise the Father's love.
Who kept us through the night;
O may his kindness be our song,
His pleasure our delight.
While passing through this day,
Lord, we implore thy care,
To guide us on the heav'nly way,
And guard from ev'ry snare.
And when our life shall close,
O may it be in peace;
May we lie down in sweet repose,
And wake in endless bliss.
