Morning Praise

Father dear, I humbly bow By my little bedside now. Thou hast kept me through the night, Till the morning, clear and bright; Thou hast given rest and sleep; Thou dost e’er a vigil keep Through the silent hours of night While the stars and moon are bright. Blessed Father, through the storm Thou hast kept me from all harm; And thy loving hand is near, Guarding me from harm and fear. Help me now, I ask of thee, That my daily walk may be Like a little Christian true, In my words, and actions too; Keep me from all harm again As thou didst last night. Amen.
