Text: | Now that the sun is beaming bright |
Tune: | NOW THANK THE LORD |
Composer: | Johann Crüger |
1 Now that the sun is beaming bright,
Once more to God we pray
That He, the uncreated light,
May guide our souls this day.
2 No sinful word, no deed of wrong,
No thoughts that idly rove,
But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love.
3 And while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence
Our gates, beleaguered by the foe,
The gate of every sense.
4 And grant that to Thine honor, Lord,
Our daily toil may tend:
That we begin it at Thy word,
And in Thy favor end.
