- 1Ev'ry morning mercies newFall as fresh as morning dew;Ev'ry morning let us payTribute with the early day:For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure;Thy compassion doth endure.
- 2Still the greatness of Thy loveDaily doth our sins remove;Daily, far as east from west,Lifts the burden from the breast;Gives unbought to those who prayStrength to stand in evil day.
- 3Let our prayers each morn prevail,That these gifts may never fail;And, as we confess the sinAnd the tempter's pow'r within,Feed us with the Bread of Life,Fit us for our daily strife.
- 4As the morning light returns,As the sun with splendor burns,Teach us still to turn to Thee,Ever blessed Trinity,With our hands our hearts to raise,In unfailing prayer and praise.
