Songs of Light ‎#136

136. Morning Song

1 Each morning brings us fresh out-poured
The lovingkindness of the Lord;
It ends not as the day goes past,
But gives us strength while life shall last.

2 Light fills our being through our eyes,
To show us what is good and wise
And guide us on God's work to gaze
And mark how gracious are His ways.

3 The darkness in us, Lord, dispel;
From bitterness, O shield us well,
From ill desires, from clouded sight,
And do Thou lead us day and night.

4 O God, Thou Star of dawning day,
Give us that light for which we pray;
Make Thou Thy flame in us to glow
That we no lack of grace may know.

5 To walk as by the light of day,
That we may ever, come what may,
In our faith strong, unwavering be,
Abiding steadfast, one with Thee.
