- 1The morning bright,
- With rosy light,
- Hath waked me from my sleep;
- Father, I own
- Thy love alone
- Thy little one doth keep.
- 2All through the day,
- I humbly pray,
- Be Thou my Guard and Guide;
- My sins forgive,
- And let me live,
- Blest Jesus, near Thy side.
- 3O make Thy rest
- Within my breast,
- Great Spirit of all grace;
- Make me like Thee;
- Then shall I be
- Prepared to see Thy face.
- 4To Father, Son,
- And Spirit, One,
- Great God Whom I adore,
- All glory be,
- My God, to Thee,
- Both now, and evermore.
- 5Amen.
