Morning Prayer.

"VOUCHSAFE, O LORD, TO KEEP US THIS DAY
WITHOUT SIN."

"I myself will awake early."
Ps. cviii. 2.

1 AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun.
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Thy precious time mis-spent redeem;
Each present day thy last esteem;
Improve thy talent with due care;
For the great day thyself prepare.
3 By influence of the light Divine
Let thy own light to others shine;
Reflect all Heaven's propitious rays
In ardent love and cheerful praise.

4 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praise to the eternal King.

5 I wake, I wake, ye heavenly choir,
May your devotion me inspire,
That I, like you, my age may spend,
Like you may on my God attend.

B

[L.M.

2.

6 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept
And hast refresh'd me while I slept;
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may
of endless light partake.

7 Lord, I my vows to thee renew,

Disperse my sins as morning dew;

Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with thyself my spirit fill.

8 Direct, control, suggest this day
All I design, or do, or say;

That all my powers with all their might
In thy sole glory may unite a.

"I am the light of the world."
JOHN viii. 12.

1 O JESU, Lord of heavenly grace,

Thou brightness of thy Father's face,

Thou fountain of eternal light,

[L.M.

Whose beams disperse the shades of night :

2 Come, holy Sun of heavenly love,
Shower down thy radiance from above;
And to our inward hearts convey
The Holy Spirit's cloudless ray.

3 May faith, deep-rooted in the soul,
Subdue our flesh, our minds control;
May guile depart, and discord cease,
And all within be joy and peace..

4 O hallow'd be the approaching day;
Let meekness be our morning ray;
And faithful love our noon-day light;
And hope our sunset, calm and bright.

3.

5 O Christ, with each returning morn,
Thine image to our hearts is borne;
O may we ever clearly see

Our Saviour and our God in theea.

"His compassions fail not: they are new every [L.M. morning.' "-LAM. iii. 22.

1 NEW every morning is the love

Our wakening and uprising prove;

Through sleep and darkness safely brought,
Restored to life, and power, and thought.

2 New mercies, each returning day,
Hover around us while we pray;
New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3 If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,

New treasures still of countless price
God will provide for sacrifice.

4 Old friends, old scenes will lovelier be,
As more of heaven in each we see;
Some softening gleam of love and prayer
Shall dawn on every cross and care.

5 The trivial round, the common task
Will furnish all we ought to ask :
Room to deny ourselves; a road
To bring us daily nearer God.

6 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love
Fit us for perfect rest above,
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray a.
