Hymns for Youth ‎#174

174. As the Sun Doth Daily Rise

1. As the sun doth daily rise,
Brightening all the morning skies,
So to thee with one accord
Lift we up our hearts, O Lord!

2. Day by day provide us food,
For from thee come all things good;
Strength unto our souls afford
From thy living bread, O Lord!

3. Be our guard in sin and strife;
Be the leader of our life.
Lest from thee we stray abroad,
Stay our wayward feet, O Lord!

4. Quickened by the Spirit's grace
All thy holy will to trace
While we daily search thy Word,
Wisdom we would ask, O Lord!

5. Praise we, with the heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Thee would we with one accord
Praise and magnify, O Lord!
