Lyics

O GOD, thy gifts of tender love

Are ev'ry evening new;

And morning mercies from above,

Distil like early dew.



Thou spread'st the curtain of the night,

To guard our sleeping hours;

Thy sov'reign word restores the light,

And wakes the drowsy powers.



We yield ourselves to thy command,

To thee devote our days;

For constant blessings from thy hand,

Demand our constant praise.
