45. New Every Morning Is the Love

1 New every morning is the love
Our wakening and uprising prove;
Thru sleep and darkness safely brought,
Restored to life and power and thought.

2 New mercies, each returning day,
Hover around us while we pray;
New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3 If, on our daily course, our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.

4 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.
