For the Morning

Father, I wake Thy love to praise,
Which hath my weakness kept;
Thy mercy did the angels place.
To guard me while I slept.

I laid me down in peace, and rise
Thy goodness to proclaim;
Present my morning sacrifice.
My thanks in Jesu's name.

Because He bought me with His blood.
Into Thy favour take;
And still be merciful and good
To me, for Jesu's sake.

Throughout this day Thy mercy show,
And still Thy child defend,
Till all my spotless life below
In heavenly glories end.
