2 Thou art our Morning and our Sun,
Our work is glad, in Thee begun,
Our footworn path is fresh with dew,
For Thou createst all things new.

3 O God, within us and above,
Close to us in the Christ we love,
Through Him, our only Guide and Way,
May heavenly life be ours to-day! Amen.

J=72) Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear My voice as - cend-ing high; To

Thee will I direct my pray'r, To Thee lift up mine eye. A-men.

2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone,
To plead for all His saints,
Presenting at His Father's throne
Our songs and our complaints.

3 Thou art a God before Whose sight
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be Thy delight,
Nor dwell at Thy right hand.

4 But to Thy house will I resort
To taste Thy mercies there;
I will frequent Thy holy court,
And worship in Thy fear.

5 Oh, may Thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness!
Make every path of duty straight,
And plain before my face. Amen.

|(J=112) Still, still with Thee, when pur-ple morn-ing break-eth, When the bird

waketh, and the shadows flee; Fair - er than morning, love-lier than the

day light, Dawns the sweet con-sciousness, I am

with Thee. A-men

(May be sung to "Felix," No. 447)

2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows,
The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee in breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.

3 Still, still with Thee, as to each newborn morning,
A fresh and solemn splendor still is given,
So does this blessed consciousness awaking,

Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.

4 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
It's closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer;
Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading,
But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there.

5 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
Shall rise the glorious thought-I am with Thee. Amen.

Lord, we lift our thank- ful hearts to] Thee. Amen.

2 To Thee, Whose word, the fount of life unsealing,
When hill and dale in thickest darkness lay,
Awoke bright rays across the dim earth stealing,
And bade the eve and morn complete the day.

3 Look from the height of heaven and send to cheer us
Thy light and truth, and guide us onward still;
Still let Thy mercy, as of old, be near us,
And lead us safely to Thy holy hill.

4 So, when that morn of endless light is waking,
And shades of evil from its splendors flee,
Safe may we rise, this earth's dark vale forsaking,
Through all the long bright day to dwell with Thee.

5 Be this by Thee, O God thrice holy, granted,
O Father, Son, and Spirit, ever blest;
Whose glory by the heaven and earth is chanted,
Whose name by men and angels is confessed.

Amen.

ST. GREGORY THE GREAT. Tr. Anon.
