1. O Lord, it is a blessèd thing
To Thee both morn and night to bring
Our worship’s lowly offering.
2. And, from the strife of tongues away,
Ere toil begins, to meet and pray
For blessings on the coming day.
3. And night by night for evermore
Again with blended voice to pour
Deep thanks for mercies gone before.
4. O Jesus, be our morning light,
That we may go forth to the fight
With strength renewed and armor bright.
5. And when our daily work is o’er,
And sins and weakness we deplore,
O be Thou then our light once more.
6. Light of the world, with us abide,
And to Thyself our footsteps guide
At morn, and noon, and eventide.
