SUNRISE.
1
When from my humble bed I rise,And see the morning sun,
That, glorious in the eastern skies,
Its journey has begun,
242
2
I think of the Almighty PowerWhich called this orb from night;
I think how many at this hour
Rejoice beneath its light.
3
And then I pray, in every land,Where'er this light is shed,
That all who live may bless the Hand
Which gives their daily bread.
