A hymn, #1015, from the pages of the Psalmist, by Anne Steele. What a way to wake up in the morning.
GOD of my life, my morning song To thee I cheerful raise: Thine acts of love 'tis good to sing, And pleasant 'tis to praise. Preserved by thy almighty arm, I passed the shades of night, Serene, and safe from every harm, To see the morning light. While numbers spent the night in sighs, And restless pains and woes, In gentle sleep I closed my eyes, And woke from sweet repose. O, let the same almighty care Through all this day attend; From every danger, every snare, My heedless steps defend. Smile on my minutes as they roll, And guide my future days; And let thy goodness fill my soul With gratitude and praise.
