To Thee will I lift up my heart;
The shades of night obey Thy power,
And at Thy sun’s bright beams depart.
2 Father and Guardian! to Thy shrine
The life Thou shieldest will I bring;
All, great Creator! all is Thine;
The heart my noblest offering!
3 The morning light shall see my prayer,
The noonday calm shall know my praise;
And evening’s still and fragrant air
