DAWN.
O God, Thy world is sweet with prayer;
The breath of Christ is in the air;
We rise on Thy free Spirit's wings,
And every thought within us sings.
The breath of Christ is in the air;
We rise on Thy free Spirit's wings,
And every thought within us sings.
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.

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!

Through Him, our only Guide and Way,
May heavenly life be ours to-day!
Like this clear sunshine, let Thy love
Shine down on me to-day!
Shelter my soul, thou brooding Dove,
Like these warm skies, I pray!
Shine down on me to-day!
Shelter my soul, thou brooding Dove,
Like these warm skies, I pray!

There is no brightness on the earth,
No glory in the sky,
No peace in rest, no joy in mirth,
Except when Thou art nigh.
No glory in the sky,
No peace in rest, no joy in mirth,
Except when Thou art nigh.
Then, Lord, all day be near my soul,
And look me through and through,
Till every wish owns Thy control,
And every thought is true!
And look me through and through,
Till every wish owns Thy control,
And every thought is true!
Thou art in all that Thou hast made:
Oh, let me see Thee there!
Dear Lord, be Thou my sun, my shade,—
My Saviour everywhere!
Oh, let me see Thee there!
Dear Lord, be Thou my sun, my shade,—
My Saviour everywhere!
