1 CHURCH HYMNAL. Morning. "I myself will awake right early." 1 AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise, 2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, 3 All praise to Thee, Who safe hast kept, 4 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew, 5 Direct, control, suggest, this day, That all my powers, with all their might, Praise God from Whom, &c. (Doxology v.) 2 "Unto you that fear my Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise." 1 CHRIST, Whose glory fills the skies, Triumph o'er the shades of night : 2 Dark and cheerless is the morn Till Thy mercy's beams I see- 3 Visit then this soul of mine, Pierce the gloom of sin and grief, Scatter all my unbelief: More and more Thyself display, 3 "When I awake, I am still with Thee.” 1 THROUGH all the dangers of the night, Again we hail the cheerful light, 2 O guide us, Lord, throughout the day, For they are safe, and only they, 3 Let all our words and all our ways That so the light of truth and grace 4 Let us ne'er turn away from Thee; Amen. 4 "His compassions fail not; they are new every morning." 1 NEW every morning is the love Through sleep and darkness safely brought, 2 New mercies, each returning day, 3 If, on our daily course, our mind New treasures still, of countless price, 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, 5 The trivial round, the common task, 5 6 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray. Amen. "He that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” 1 O JESU, Lord of heavenly grace, Thou brightness of the Father's face, Thou fountain of eternal light, Whose beams disperse the shades of night; 2 Come, Holy Sun of heavenly love, 3 May He our actions deign to bless, 4 May faith, deep rooted in the soul, 5 O hallow'd thus be every day; 6 O Christ, with each returning morn Our Saviour and our God in Thee.
