Morning Prayer for Children.
Jesus, I from my sweet repose,
Arise to see the morning sun.
Help me, dear Lord, that at the close
Of day, my duties may be done.
Arise to see the morning sun.
Help me, dear Lord, that at the close
Of day, my duties may be done.
Accept my thanks for blessings past,
And for these golden rays of light;
For every gift of grace bestowed
And guardian angels of the night.
And for these golden rays of light;
For every gift of grace bestowed
And guardian angels of the night.
And if, dear Lord, by day or night,
Thou shalt be pleased to call me hence,
Thou art my strength, my all in life,
In death thou art my strong defence.
Thou shalt be pleased to call me hence,
Thou art my strength, my all in life,
In death thou art my strong defence.
May 1, 1877.
