Words
⤢ Full screenGod of the morning ray,God of the rising day,Glorious in power!In thee we live and move,And thus we daily proveThy condescending loveEach passing hour.
God of our feeble race,God of redeeming grace,Spirit all-blest!Our own eternal Friend,Thy guardian influence lend,From every snare defend;In thee we rest.
