MHB 928 – MORNING comes with light all-cheering

Methodist-Hymns-928

1: MORNING comes with light all-cheering,
Shades of night have fled apace;
Sources of light, by Thine appear-ing,
From our minds all darkness chase:
Thou hast blest us in our sleep;
Through the day direct and keep.

2: Earth refreshed Thy praise is sounding,
All Thy works Thy glory sing;
May our hearts, with love abound-ing,
Gratefully their tribute bring:
Thou hast taught the birds their lays;
Teach our hearts to sing Thy praise.

3: All day long to praise Thee help us,
And to strive against all sin;
Finding all our help in Jesus,
Who for us the fight did win:
He was tempted here below,
And doth all our weakness know.

4: Man goes to his work till evening
Brings again the needed rest;
Grant that we, Thy grace receiving,
May in all we do be blest;
And wherever we may be
Find our joy in pleasing Thee.
Amen.
