As the sun doth daily rise
Brightening all the morning skies
So to Thee with one accord
Lift we up our hearts
O Lord.
Day by day provide us food
For from Thee come all things good;
Strength unto our souls afford
From Thy living bread
O Lord.
Be our guard in sin and strife;
Be the leader of our life;
Lest from Thee we stray abroad
Stay our wayward feet
O Lord.
Quickened by the Spirit’s grace
All Thy holy will to trace
While we daily search Thy Word
Wisdom true impart
O Lord.
When the sun withdraws his light
When we seek our rest at night
Thou
by sleepless hosts adored
Hear the prayer of faith
O Lord!
When the hours are dark and drear
When the tempter lurketh near
By Thy strengthening grace outpoured
Save the tempted ones
O Lord!
Praise we
with the heavenly host
Father
Son and Holy Ghost;
Thee would we with one accord
Praise and magnify
O Lord.
