The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#6

6. New every morning is the love

1 New every morning is the love
our waking and our rising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.

2 New mercies, each returning day,
surround Your people as they pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3 If in our daily life our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.

4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we need to ask;
room to deny ourselves – a road
to bring us daily nearer God.

5 Prepare us Lord, in Your dear love
for perfect rest with You above,
and help us, this and every day,
to grow more like You as we pray.
