Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #CXIXb (1785) Lyrics: 1 To thee, before the dawning light,
My gracious GOD, I pray;
I meditate thy name by night,
And keep thy law by day.
2 My spirit faints to see thy grace,
Thy promise bears me up;
And while salvation long delays,
Thy word supports my hope.
3 Seven times a day I lift my hands,
And pay my thanks to thee;
Thy righteous providence demands
Repeated praise from me.
4 When midnight darkness veils the skies,
I call thy works to mind;
My thoughts in warm devotion rise,
And sweet acceptance find. Scripture: Psalm 119:147 Languages: English
To Thee, before the dawning light
