- 1Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear
- My voice ascending high;
- To thee will I direct my prayer,
- To thee lift up mine eye,
- 2O may thy Spirit guide my feet
- In ways of righteousness!
- Make ev'ry path of duty straight
- And plain before my face.
- 3The men that love and fear thy name
- Shall see their hopes fulfilled;
- The mighty God will compass them
- With favor as a shield.
