Morning Hymn.

1Now, the shades of night are gone;

Now the morning light comes on;

Lord, may we be thine to-day,

Drive the shades of sin away.

2Fill our souls with heavenly light,

Banish doubt, and clear our sight;

In thy service, Lord, to-day,

May we stand, and watch and pray.

3Keep our haughty passions bound;

Save us from our foes around;

Going out and coming in,

Keep us safe from every sin.

4When our work of life is past,

O, receive us then at last;

Night and sin will be no more,

When we reach the heavenly shore.
