MORNING HYMN.
Reading edition
My Father, I thank thee for sleep, For quiet and peaceable rest; I thank thee for stooping to keep An infant from being distrest.
My voice shall be lisping thy praise, My heart would repay thee with love; O teach me to walk in thy ways, And fit me to see thee above.
As long as thou seest it right That here upon earth I should stay, I pray thee to guard me by night, And help me to serve thee by day.
