1. As the sun doth daily rise,
Brightening all the morning skies,
So to Thee with one accord
Lift we up our hearts, O Lord!
2. Day by day provide us food,
For from Thee come all things good:
Strength unto our souls afford
From Thy Living Bread, O Lord!
3. Be our Guard in sin and strife;
Be the Leader of our life;
Lest like sheep we stray abroad,
Stay our wayward feet, O Lord!
4. Quickened by the Spirit's grace
All Thy holy will to trace,
While we daily search Thy word,
Wisdom true impart, O Lord!
5. When the sun withdraws his light,
When we seek our beds at night,
Thou, by sleepless hosts adored,
Hear the prayer of faith, O Lord!
6. Praise we, with the heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Thee would we with one accord,
Praise and magnify, O Lord!
Amen.
