MORNING HYMN.

This is earth's waking hour,
And beautiful to see;
The sun beams out with glorious power,
And kindling majesty.
Oh, what have I to do
With slothful visions now?
Let me my early prayers renew
With bright and happy brow.
For God has blessed my night,
And nerved my youthful frame,
And I will seek him with delight
Through Jesus' blessed name.
