Lyics

See how the mounting sun

Pursues his shining way;

And wide proclaims his Maker's praise,

With every brightening ray.



Thus would my rising soul

Its heavenly parent sing;

And to its great Original

The humble tribute bring.



Serene I laid me down,

Beneath his guardian care;

I slept, and I awoke and found

My kind Preserver near.



Thus does thine arm support

This weak defenceless frame;

But whence these favors, Lord, to me,

All worthless as I am?



My life I would anew,

Devote, O Lord, to thee;

And in thy service I would spend

A long eternity.
