18 MORNING.

‘Early tn the morning will direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.” 4 N OW that the daylight fills the sky We lift our hearts to Gop on high, That He, in all we do or say, Would keep us free from harm to-day.

May He restrain our tongues from strife, ‘And shield from anger’s din our life; And guard with watchful care our eyes From earth’s absorbing vanities.

O may our inmost hearts be pure, From thoughts of folly kept secure, And pride of sinful flesh subdued Through sparing use of daily food.

So we, when this day’s work is o’er, And shades of night return once more, Our path of trial safely trod,

Shall give the glory to our Gop.

All praise to Gop the FATHER be;

All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee; Whom with the Sprrit we adore

Tor ever and for evermore. Amen.

Unto you that fear My Name shall the Sith of Righteousness arise.” HRIST, Whose glory fills the skies, Curis?, the true, the only Light, Sun of Righteousness, arise,

Triumph o’er the shades of night 5 Dayspring from on high be near, Daystar in my heart appear.

Dark and cheerless is the morn * Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day’s return

Till Thy mercy’s beams I see, Till they inward light impart,

Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine;

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief; Fill me, Radiancy Divine;

Scatter all my unbelief More and more Thyself display,

Shining to the perfect day. Amen.
