When Morning Lights the Eastern Skies

When morn­ing lights the east­ern skies

O Lord

Thy mer­cy show;

On Thee alone my hope re­lies

Let me Thy kind­ness know.

Teach me the way that I should go;

I lift my soul to Thee;

For re­fuge from my cru­el foe

To Thee

O Lord

I flee.

Thou art my God

to Thee I pray;

Teach me Thy will to heed;

And in the right and per­fect way

May Thy good Spir­it lead.

For Thy name’s sake

O gra­cious Lord

Revive my soul and bless

And in Thy faith­ful­ness and love

Redeem me from dis­tress.
