Pray When the Morn Is Breaking

Author: Jane C. Simpson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5654 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1. Pray when the morn is breaking, Pray when the noon is bright, Pray with the eve’s declining, Pray in the hush of night: With mind made pure of passion, All meaner thoughts away, Low in thy chamber kneeling, Do thou in secret pray. 2. Remember all who love thee, All who are loved by thee, And next for those that hate thee Pray thou, if such there be; Last for thyself in meekness A blessing humbly claim, And link with each petition Thy great Redeemer’s name. 3. But if ’tis e’er denied thee In solitude to pray, Should holy thoughts come o’er thee Upon life’s crowded way, E’en then the silent breathing That lifts thy soul above Shall reach the thronèd presence Of mercy, truth, and love.
