366. Morning Hymn for a Child

O God! I thank Thee that the night
In peace and rest hath passed away,
And that I see in this fair light
My Father’s smile, that makes it day.

Be Thou my guide, and let me live
As under Thine all-seeing eye;
Supply my wants, my sins forgive,
And make me happy when I die.
