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,
surround your people as they pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3 If in our daily life 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 ought to ask:
room to deny ourselves—a road
to bring us daily nearer God.

5 Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love
for perfect rest with you above,
and help us, this and every day,
to grow more like you as we pray.
