Lyics

MY God, how endless is Thy love!

Thy gifts are every evening new;

And morning mercies, from above,

Gently distill, like early dew.



Thou spead'st the curtains of the night,

Great Guardian of my sleeping hours;

Thy sov'reign word restores the light,

And quickens all my drowsy pow'rs.



I yield my pow'rs to Thy command;

To Thee I consecrate my days;

Perpetual blessings from Thy hand

Demand perpetual songs of praise.
