My voice shalt thou hear in the morning.
Psalm 5:3.
Now the shades of night are gone;
Now the morning light is come;
Lord, may I be thine to-day—
Drive the shades of sin away.
2 Fill my soul with heavenly light,
Banish doubt, and cleanse my sight;
In thy service, Lord, to-day,
Help me labor, help me pray.
3 Keep my haughty passions bound—
Save me from my foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep me safe from every sin.
4 When my work of life is past,
O! receive me then at last!
When I reach the heavenly shore,
Night of sin will be no more.
