MORNING.
“The Lord our God is one Lord.”
God, to men Thy children shown
A Creator on the throne,
A Redeemer for them given,
A Renewer come from heaven;
A Creator on the throne,
A Redeemer for them given,
A Renewer come from heaven;
God, the night and day are Thine,
God, my fathers' God and mine;
Now with dawn the East is fair,
Hearken to my morning prayer.
God, my fathers' God and mine;
Now with dawn the East is fair,
Hearken to my morning prayer.
God in heaven, and God in me,
Let me serve in my degree
As the sun; and let me love
As the seraphim above.
Let me serve in my degree
As the sun; and let me love
As the seraphim above.
Since Thou waitest me to bless,
I will ask Thee nothing less;
Let Thy likeness wax alway
In my soul as dawn to day.
I will ask Thee nothing less;
Let Thy likeness wax alway
In my soul as dawn to day.
Let my work be alway done
As to Thee, and when the sun
Sets and all Thy stars appear,
Still acquaint me I am dear.
As to Thee, and when the sun
Sets and all Thy stars appear,
Still acquaint me I am dear.
Though so many and so far,
Thou dost know them, every star
By its name—O! life divine,
God, Thou also knowest mine.
Thou dost know them, every star
By its name—O! life divine,
God, Thou also knowest mine.

In Thy one appointed way,
Pardon for my sins I pray,
In the great name ever blest,
Ask Thee for the most and best.
Pardon for my sins I pray,
In the great name ever blest,
Ask Thee for the most and best.
Our Father, dread and wise,
Our redeeming Sacrifice,
Our Renewer, let me be
Satisfied, at last, in Thee.
Our redeeming Sacrifice,
Our Renewer, let me be
Satisfied, at last, in Thee.
