As every day Thy mercy spares

Will bring its trials or its cares,

O Father, till my life shall end,

Be Thou my counsellor and friend!

Teach me Thy statutes all divine,

And let Thy will be always mine!

When each day’s scenes and labors close,

And wearied nature seeks repose,

With pardoning mercy, richly blest,

Guard me, my Father, while I rest;

And as each morning sun shall rise,

O, lead me onward to the skies!
