Lyics

LORD of my life, O may thy praise

Employ my noblest powers,

Whose goodness lengthens out my days,

And fills the circling hours.



Preserv'd by thine almighty arm,

I pass'd the shades of night,

Serene and safe from every harm,

And see returning light.



O, let the same almighty care

My waking hours attend;

From every danger, every snare,

My heedless steps defend.



Smile on my minutes as they roll,

And guide my future days;

And let thy goodness full my soul

With gratitude and praise.
