Go, when the morning shineth,

Go, when the moon is bright,

Go, when the eve declineth,

Go, in the hush of night;

Go with pure mind and feeling,

Put earthly thoughts away,

And in God’s presence kneeling,

Do thou in secret pray.

2 Remember all who love thee,

All who are loved by thee;

Pray, too, for those who hate thee,

If any such there be;

Then for thyself, in meekness,

A blessing humbly claim;

And blend with each petition

Thy great Redeemer’s name.

3 Or, if ’tis e’er denied thee

In solitude to pray,

Should holy thoughts come o’er thee,

When friends are round thy way,

E’en then, the silent breathing

Thy spirit lifts above,

Will reach his throne of glory,

Where dwells eternal love.
