Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #377 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, as the day begins,
lift up our hearts in praise;
take from us all our sins;
guard us in all our ways.
Our every step direct and guide,
that Christ in all be glorified.
2 Christ be in work and skill,
serving each other's need;
Christ be in thought and will,
Christ be in word and deed.
Our minds be set on things above
in joy and peace, in faith and love.
3 Grant us the Spirit's strength;
teach us to walk his way;
so bring us all at length
safe to the close of day.
From hour to hour sustain and bless,
and let our song be thankfulness.
4 Now as the day begins,
make it the best of days;
take from us all our sins;
guard us in all our ways.
Our every step direct and guide,
that Christ in all be glorified. Topics: Daily Prayer Morning; Discipleship; Jesus Christ Presence; Time Scripture: Psalm 5:3 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLY VINE
