Lyics

O God, thy gifts of tender love

Are ev'ry ev'ning 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 pow'rs.



We yield ourselves to thy command,

To thee devote our days;

For constant blessings from thy hand

Demand our constant praise.
