I Owe the Lord a Morning Song

I owe the Lord a morn­ing song

Of gra­ti­tude and praise

For the kind mer­cy He has shown

In length­en­ing out my days.

He kept me safe an­oth­er night;

I see an­oth­er day;

Now may His Spir­it

as the light

Direct me in His way.

Keep me from dan­ger and from sin;

Help me Thy will to do

So that my heart be pure with­in;

And I Thy good­ness know.

Keep me till Thou wilt call me hence

Where nev­er night can be;

And save me

Lord

for Je­sus’ sake.

He shed His blood for me.
