As the Sun Doth Daily Rise

As the sun doth dai­ly rise

Brightening all the morn­ing skies

So to Thee with one ac­cord

Lift we up our hearts

O Lord.

Day by day pro­vide us food

For from Thee come all things good;

Strength un­to our souls af­ford

From Thy liv­ing bread

O Lord.

Be our guard in sin and strife;

Be the lead­er of our life;

Lest from Thee we stray abroad

Stay our way­ward feet

O Lord.

Quickened by the Spir­it’s grace

All Thy ho­ly will to trace

While we dai­ly search Thy Word

Wisdom true im­part

O Lord.

When the sun with­draws his light

When we seek our rest at night

Thou

by sleep­less hosts ad­ored

Hear the pray­er of faith

O Lord!

When the hours are dark and drear

When the tempt­er lurk­eth near

By Thy strength­en­ing grace out­poured

Save the tempt­ed ones

O Lord!

Praise we

with the heav­en­ly host

Father

Son and Ho­ly Ghost;

Thee would we with one ac­cord

Praise and mag­ni­fy

O Lord.
