Author: Anonymous; Maurice F. Bell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4247 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Most holy Lord and God of Heaven,
Who to the glowing sky hast given
The fires that in the east are born
With gradual splendors of the morn;
2. Who, on the fourth day, didst reveal
The sun’s enkindled flaming wheel,
Didst set the moon her ordered ways,
And stars their ever winding maze;
3. That each in its appointed way
Might separate night from day,
And of the seasons through the year
The well remembered signs declare;
4. Illuminate our hearts within,
And cleanse our minds from stain of sin;
Unburdened of our guilty load
May we unfettered serve our God.
5. O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: THE MORNING WATCH
Most Holy Lord and God of Heaven
