- 1See how the rising sun
- Pursues his shining way,
- And wide proclaims his Maker's praise,
- With every bright'ning ray.
- 2Thus would my rising soul
- Its Heavenly Parent sing,
- And to its great Original
- The humble tribute bring.
- 3Serene I laid me down
- Beneath His guardian care:
- I slept, and I awoke, and found
- My kind Preserver near!
- 4My life I would anew
- Devote, O Lord, to Thee:
- And in Thy blessed presence spend
- A long eternity.
- 5Amen.
