In the morning I will pray For God's blessing on the day; What this day shall be my lot, Light or darkness, know I not. Should it be with clouds o'ercast, Clouds of sorrow, gathering fast, Thou, who givest light divine, Shine within me, Lord, O, shine! Show me, if I tempted be, How to find all strength in Thee, And a perfect triumph win Over every bosom sin. Keep my feet from secret snares, Keep mine eyes, O God, from tears! Every step Thy love attend, And my soul from death defend!
