- 1New ev‘ry morning is the loveOur wak’ning and uprising prove;Thru sleep and darkness safely brought,Restored to life, and pow’r, and thought.New mercies, each returning day,Hover around us while we pray;New perils past, new sins forgiv’n,New thoughts of God, new hopes of heav’n.
- 2If on our daily course our mindBe set to hallow all we find,New treasures still, of count less price,God will provide for sacrifice.Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,As more of heav’n in each we see;Some soft’ning gleam of love and prayerShall dawn on ev‘ry cross and care.
- 3The trivial round, the common task,Will furnish all we ought to ask–Room to deny ourselves, a roadTo bring us daily nearer God.Amen.
