[Preventing the first dawn of day]
In the morning, rising up a great while before, &c.
—i. 35.
Preventing the first dawn of day,
Thus may I steal myself away,
As Jesus leads me on;
My labours leave to pray apart,
And pour out all my earnest heart,
And talk with God alone.
Thus may I steal myself away,
As Jesus leads me on;
452
And pour out all my earnest heart,
And talk with God alone.
Howe'er in serving Him employ'd,
Oft will I quit the works of God,
And to the mount repair,
With thankfulness His grace request;
Or borrow the soft hours of rest
To spend in praise and prayer.
Oft will I quit the works of God,
And to the mount repair,
With thankfulness His grace request;
Or borrow the soft hours of rest
To spend in praise and prayer.
