Hymn

Every Morning Mercies New

Metre 7.7.7.7.7.7.

Every morning mercies new

Fall as fresh as morning dew;

Every morning let us pay

Tribute with the early day;

For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure,

Thy compassion doth endure.

Still the greatness of Thy love

Daily doth our sins remove;

Daily, far as east from west,

Lifts the burden from the breast;

Gives, unbought, to those who pray,

Strength to stand in evil day.

Let our prayers each morn prevail,

That these gifts may never fail;

And, as we confess the sin

And the tempter's power within,

Feed us with the Bread of Life;

Fit us for our daily strife.

As the morning light returns,

As the sun with splendor burns,

Teach us still to turn to Thee,

Ever-blessèd Trinity,

With our hands our hearts to raise,

In unfailing prayer and praise.

Amen.
