Author: W. Canton Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #91 (1936) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Through the night thy spirit kept
Watch beside me while I slept;
Now the dark has passed away,
Thank thee, Lord, for this new day.
2 North and south and east and west
May thy holy name be blest;
Everywhere beneath the sun,
As in heav'n, thy will be done.
3 Give me food that I may live;
Every naughtiness forgive;
Keep all evil things away
From thy children thro' this day.
Amen. Topics: Morning Tune Title: BOYCE
