O Thou Who Turnest into Morning

O Thou who turn­est in­to morn­ing

The sha­dows of the pass­ing night

Again to con­scious life re­turn­ing

We bless Thee for the new­born light.

Grant us that light

to all un­fail­ing

Who seek to do Thy per­fect will

That we

o’er doubt and fear pre­vail­ing

May trust Thy good above all ill;

That we may of­fer Thee thanks­giv­ing

Beyond our pray­ers and songs that rise

In great­er faith­ful­ness of liv­ing

In deep­er love through sac­ri­fice.
