Scripture
Psalm 5:1-3
Verse 1
Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To Thee will I direct my prayer,
To Thee lift up mine eye;
Verse 2
Up to the hills where Christ is gone
To plead for all His saints,
Presenting at His Father's throne
Our songs and our complaints.
Verse 3
O may Thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness;
Make every path of duty straight
And plain before my face.
Verse 4
The men that love and fear Thy name
Shall see their hopes fulfilled;
The mighty God will compass them
With favor as a shield.

A Victorian hymn of morning worship addressing God at the beginning of the day.
