A morning without clouds.
2 Sam. 23:4.
See how the rising sun
Pursues his shining way;
And wide proclaims his Maker’s praise,
With every brightening ray.
2 Thus would my rising soul
Its heavenly parent sing;
And to its great Original
An humble tribute bring.
3 O may I grateful use
The blessings I receive;
And ne’er in thought, in word, or deed,
His holy Spirit grieve.
4 May all my days and powers
Be sacred, Lord, to thee:
And in thy presence may I spend
A blest eternity!
E. Scott.
