1 In the early morning,
With the sun's first rays,
All God's little children
Thank, and pray, and praise.
2 To Thee thanks I offer,
Jesus, Shepherd dear,
For Thy tender pasture
And Thy guiding care.
3 And I would implore Thee,
Be with me this day,
Lest I from Thee wander,
Into danger stray.
4 If Thou dwell within me,
Evil far must go,
And I shall be tasting
Bliss that angels know.
5 In the hush of evening,
With the sun's last rays
All God's little children
Thank, and pray, and praise.
6 Always in Thy keeping,
Jesus, Savior dear,
Whether waking, sleeping,
We Thy children are.
