Lyics

SEE, how the rising sun,

Pursues his shining way;

And wide proclaim 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,

The humble tribute bring.



Serene I laid me down,

Beneath his guardian care;

I slept, and I awoke, and found

My kind preserver near.



My life I would anew,

Devote, O Lord, to thee;

And in thy service would I spend

A long eternity.
