My earliest praise , my earliest prayer . To God alone belong : To Him my grateful song I tear , Who hears my grateful song .
When helpless on my bed I lay ^ Sweet peace my pillow blest : He made the darkness safe as day . He gave the weary rest ; He watch'd my slumbering stolitude . Guarded the ungttarded hour ; The springs of being * he renew'd , From weakness Tvaken'dl bow'r .
He taught the curtains of my eyes To veil their light in sleep ; He bids the day in glory rise , Calls brightness from the deep . 'Tis Thou ! my God and Father , Thou My life , my all is Thine ; Be Thine the praise , the glory , now Another day is mine .
The evening came—the night is gone * The morning beams break through ; Night ' s rest is Thine , Thou griadidus one And morning's duties too . Now let Thy heav ' nly grace descend Around my path to be ; And may my every footstep tend to Thee , my God ! to Thee ,
Mark out , and guide me m my w&y , Salvation ' s crown to win ; Be Thou a Shepherd when I stray , A Father ; when I sin .
To Thee , to Tilde , O God ! I turn , Fdr light , for faith I pray i Give me a spirit £ rotn ]> t td learn ; And re&fy tb obey ; O lead me on from youth to age * Midst peace and praise and love ; My life , a quiet pilgrimage , My resting-place , abovew
To chace despair , to soothe distress , Shall be my soul ' s employ ; My sweetest * dearest blisa , to bless ; My joy , to kindle joy . So in Thy service , in Thy fear And favour , let me be ; And death , that bounds my journey here , Renew its course with Thee .
