“Commit thy way unto the LORD”-Psalms 37:5
1 Once more the sun is beaming bright,
Once more to God we pray,
That his eternal light my guide
And cheer our souls this day.
2 O may no sin our hands defile
Or cause our minds to rove,
Upon our lips be simple truth,
And in our hearts be love!
3 Throughout the day, o Christ, in thee,
May ready help found,
To save our souls from Satan’s wiles,
Who still is hov’ring round.
4 Subservient to thy daily praise,
Our daily toil shall be;
So may our works, in thee begun,
Be further’d Lord, by Thee.
5 And lest the flesh,
Profane and proud,
Subdue the yielding soul,
My self-constraining temperance,
Carnal desires control.
