Once More the Sun Is Beaming
"Commit thy way unto the Lord;" - Ps 37:5
VERSE 1
Once more the sun is beaming bright,
Once more to God we pray ,
That His eternal light may guide,
And cheer our souls this day.
VERSE 2
O may no sin our hands defile,
Or cause our minds to rove,
Upon our lips be simple truth,
And in our hearts be love!
VERSE 3
Throughout the day, O Christ, in Thee
May ready help be found,
To save our souls from Satan's wiles,
Who still is hov'ring round.
VERSE 4
Subservient to Thy daily praise,
Our daily toil shall be;
So may our works, in Thee begun,
Be further'd, Lord, by Thee
VERSE 5
And lest the flesh, profane and proud,
Subdue the yielding soul,
May self-constraining temperance,
Carnal desires control.
VERSE 6
To God the father ,God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost,
Eternal glory be from man,
And from the angel host.
