Morning Song.
O LORD of life, thy quickening
voice
Awakes my morning song;
In gladsome words I would rejoice
That I to thee belong.
Morning Song.
O LORD of life, thy quickening
voice
Awakes my morning song;
In gladsome words I would rejoice
That I to thee belong.
I see thy light, I feel thy wind!
Earth is thy uttered word;
Whatever wakes my heart and mind,
Thy presence is, my Lord.
Earth is thy uttered word;
Whatever wakes my heart and mind,
Thy presence is, my Lord.
Therefore I choose my highest part.
And turn my face to thee;
Therefore I stir my inmost heart
To worship fervently.
And turn my face to thee;
Therefore I stir my inmost heart
To worship fervently.
Lord, let me live and act this day,
Still rising from the dead;
Lord, make my spirit good and gay—
Give me my daily bread.
Still rising from the dead;
Lord, make my spirit good and gay—
Give me my daily bread.
Within my heart, speak, Lord, speak on.
My heart alive to keep
Till the night comes, and, labour done,
In thee I fall asleep.
My heart alive to keep
Till the night comes, and, labour done,
In thee I fall asleep.
