The voice of praise at early morn,
And He accepts the reverent hymn
Sung as the light of day grows dim.
2 Look up to heaven! the obedient sun
Already through his course hath run;
He cannot halt or go astray,
But our immortal spirits may.
3 Lord, since his rising in the east,
If we have faltered or transgressed,
Guide, from Thy love’s abundant source,
