Bohemian Brethren.
Once more the day-light shines abroad, O Brethren let us praise the Lord, Whose grace and mercy thus have kept The nightly watch while we have slept. | To Him let us together pray With all our heart and soul to-day, That He would keep us in His love, And all our guilt and sin remove. | Eternal God! Almighty Friend, Whose deep compassions have no end, Whose never-failing strength and might Have kept us safely through the night: | Now send us from Thy heavenly throne Thy grace and help through Christ Thy Son, That with Thy strength our hearts may glow, And fear nor man nor ghostly foe. | Ah Lord God! hear us we implore! Be Thou our Guardian evermore, Our mighty Champion and our shield That goeth with us to the field. | 70 We offer up ourselves to Thee, That heart and word and deed may be In all things guided by Thy mind, And in Thine eyes acceptance find. | Thus, Lord, we bring through Christ Thy Son Our morning offering to Thy throne; Now be Thy precious gift outpour'd, And help us for Thine honour, Lord! | |
