Lyics

SEE 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'rs

Be sacred, Lord, to thee:

And in thy presence may I spend

A blest eternity!
