Great God! my early vows to thee

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #619 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God! my early vows to thee With gratitude I'll bring; And at the rosy dawn of day Thy lofty praises sing. 2 Thou round the heavenly arch dost draw A dark and sable veil, And all the beauties of the world From mortal eyes conceal. 3 Again thy sky with golden beams Thy skilful hands adorn, And paint with cheerful splendour gay The fair ascending morn. 4 And as the gloomy night returns, Or smiling day renews, Thy constant goodness still my soul With benefits pursues. 5 For this will I my vows to thee With evening incense bring; And at the rosy dawn of day Thy lofty praises sing. Topics: God's Goodness renewed every Morning and Evening; The Lord's Day Morning
