1. Lord, in the morning I will Send My cries to reach thine ear; Thou art my Father and my Friend, My help forever near. 2. O lead me, keep me all this day Near thee in perfect peace; Help me to watch, to watch and pray, To pray, and never cease. 3. I know my roving feet will err, Unless thou be my guide; Warn me of ev'ry foe and snare, And keep me near thy side. 4. Then shall I pass all danger safe, And tread the tempter down; My trust, my hope, joy, and relief, Shall be in thee alone. 5. Then let my moments sweetly run, My hours thus passed away, Till ev'ning shade and setting sun Conclude in endless day.
