Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #815 (1997) Topics: Discipleship Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.
2 New mercies each returning day
around us hover while we pray,
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course 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 ought to ask,
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love
fit us for perfect rest above,
and help us, this and every day
to live more nearly as we pray. Scripture: Lamentations 3:23 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
New every morning is the love
