'Tis dawn: to God I lift my hand, To regulate my way; My passions rule, and unmoved stand, And give to Thee the day: Not one dark word or deed of sin, Nor one base thought allow; But watch all avenues within, And wholly keep my vow. Shamed were my age, should I decline; Shamed were Thy table too, At which I stand:--the will is mine: Give grace, my Christ, to do.
