42 ~ New Every Morning
1
New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought.
2
New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3
If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice.
4
The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we need to ask; Room to deny ourselves; a road To bring us daily nearer God.
5
Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray.
