Every Hour of the Passing Day

Representative Text

1 Every hour of the passing day
Let me labor, Lord, for Thee;
While one soul in the darkness roams,
Let me never idle be.

Refrain:
Every hour, every day,
Let me do some deed of love;
Every hour, every day,
Point some soul to the world above.

2 Every hour of the passing day
Let me sow some precious seed;
Lift some load from a fainting soul,
Help some suff’ring one in need. [Refrain]

3 Every hour of the passing day
Let me breathe Thy name in prayer;
Trusting in Thy grace divine,
Let me in Thy glory share. [Refrain]

4 Every hour of the passing day
Let me drink at the fountain deep;
Drink from that exhaustless stream
Grace and pow’r my soul to keep. [Refrain]
