Lord of my life, O may thy praise
1
Lord of my life, O may thy praiseEmploy my noblest powers,Whose goodness lengthens out my days,And fills the circling hours.
2
While many spent the night in sighs,And restless pains and woes,In gentle sleep I closed my eyes,And undisturbed repose.
3
O let the same parental careMy waking hours attend;From every danger, every snare,My trembling steps defend:
4
Smile on my moments as they roll,And guide my future days;And let thy goodness fill my soulWith gratitude and praise.
