HYMN 81. (L. M.) A Song for Morning or Evening, Lam. iii. 23. Isaiah xlv. 7.
I
My God, how endless is thy love!Thy gifts are every evening new,
And morning mercies from above
Gently distil like early dew.
II
Thou spread'st the curtains of the night,Great guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sovereign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
III
I yield my powers to thy command,To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.
