CXLVII. MORNING HYMN.
My God, Thou art in Jesus mine,
And early will I seek Thy face,
A slave redeem'd by blood Divine,
A sinner saved by pardoning grace.
And early will I seek Thy face,
A slave redeem'd by blood Divine,
A sinner saved by pardoning grace.
Preventing the first dawn of day,
I lift my joyful heart and eyes,
And call'd by love my vows to pay,
Present my morning sacrifice.
I lift my joyful heart and eyes,
And call'd by love my vows to pay,
Present my morning sacrifice.

Thanks be to God enthroned above,
Who did to man salvation bring:
Thy riches of redeeming love
Let angels and archangels sing.
Who did to man salvation bring:
Thy riches of redeeming love
Let angels and archangels sing.
Worthy the Lamb extoll'd to live,
Whose life to ransom ours was given:
Jesus, the homage due receive,
The utmost praise of earth and heaven.
Whose life to ransom ours was given:
Jesus, the homage due receive,
The utmost praise of earth and heaven.
God over all for ever bless'd,
Giver of every gift and grace,
Redemption shines above the rest,
And challenges my endless praise.
Giver of every gift and grace,
Redemption shines above the rest,
And challenges my endless praise.
Fountain and root of all beside,
Redemption in the dust I own,
And suffering with the Crucified
Arise the partner of Thy throne.
Redemption in the dust I own,
And suffering with the Crucified
Arise the partner of Thy throne.
Even now I taste the raptures there,
Amidst the church of the first-born,
Redeem'd from earth, my Lord declare,
And shouting to Thine arms return.
Amidst the church of the first-born,
Redeem'd from earth, my Lord declare,
And shouting to Thine arms return.
I see those outstretch'd arms of love,
Those arms extended on the tree!
I see my place prepared above,
And bow my head, to reign with Thee!
Those arms extended on the tree!
I see my place prepared above,
And bow my head, to reign with Thee!
