A Morning Hymn

Full Text

1 Now the shades of night are gone;
Now the morning light is come:
Lord, we would be thine to-ay,
Drive the shades of sin away.

2 Fill my soul with heavenly light,
Banish doubt and cleanse my sight;
In thy service, Lord, today
Help me labor, help me pray.

Oh! receive me then at last!
Night of sin will be no more
When I reach the heavenly shore.
