The morning bright,

With rosy light,

Hath waked me from my sleep;

Father, I own

Thy love alone

Thy little one doth keep.

All through the day,

I humbly pray,

Be Thou my Guard and Guide;

My sins forgive,

And let me live,

Blest Jesus, near Thy side.

O make Thy rest

Within my breast,

Great Spirit of all grace;

Make me like Thee;

Then shall I be

Prepared to see Thy face.

To Father, Son,

And Spirit, One,

Great God Whom I adore,

All glory be,

My God, to Thee,

Both now, and evermore.

Amen.
