A CHILD'S MORNING HYMN
O god Who, when the night was deep,
Hast kept me safe and lent me sleep,
Now with Thy sun Thou bid'st me rise,
And look around with older eyes.
Hast kept me safe and lent me sleep,
Now with Thy sun Thou bid'st me rise,
And look around with older eyes.
Each blesséd morning Thou dost give,
I have one morning less to live:
O help me so this day to spend,
To make me fitter for the end!
I have one morning less to live:
O help me so this day to spend,
To make me fitter for the end!
O bid all evil wishes fly;
The fretful word, the careless eye;
Aid me to think, in all I do,
‘God sees me: would He have it so?’
The fretful word, the careless eye;
Aid me to think, in all I do,
‘God sees me: would He have it so?’
Make my first wish and thought to be
For others sooner than for me;
And let me pardon them, as I
Hope for God's pardon when I die.
For others sooner than for me;
And let me pardon them, as I
Hope for God's pardon when I die.
Be with me when I work and play;
Be with me now and every day,
Be near me, when I pray Thee hear;
And when I pray not, Lord! be near.
Be with me now and every day,
Be near me, when I pray Thee hear;
And when I pray not, Lord! be near.
