The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#35

35. God of the morning ray

1 God of the morning ray,
God of the rising day,
Glorious in power!
In thee we live and move,
And thus we daily prove
Thy condescending love
Each passing hour.

2 God of our feeble race,
God of redeeming grace,
Spirit all-blest!
Our own eternal Friend,
Thy guardian influence lend,
From every snare defend;
In thee we rest.
