MORNING HYMN.

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord."--Psalm 5:3.

"Morgen glanz der Ewigkeit."

Knov. von Rosenroth.

transl., Jane Borthwick, 1855

Jesus, Sun of righteousness,

Brightest beam of Love Divine,

With the early morning rays

Do Thou on our darkness shine,

And dispel with purest light

All our night!

As on drooping herb and flower

Falls the soft refreshing dew,

Let Thy Spirit's grace and power

All our weary souls renew;

Sbowers of blessing over all

Softly fall!

Like the sun's reviving ray,

May Thy love, with tender glow,

All our coldness melt away,

Warm and cheer us forth to go,

Gladly serve Thee and obey

All the day!

O our only Hope and Guide!

Never leave us nor forsake:

75

Keep us ever at Thy side,

Till the eternal morning break,

Moving on to Zion hill

Homeward still!

Lead us all our days and years

In Thy straight and narrow way;

Lead us through the vale of tears

To the land of perfect day,

Where Thy people, fully blest,

Safely rest!
