Morning Prayers.
1.
Now I awake and see the light;Lord, Thou hast kept me through the night.To Thee I lift my voice and prayThat Thou wilt keep me through the day.If I should die before 'tis done,O God, accept me through Thy Son! Amen.2.
The morning brightWith rosy lightHas waked me from my sleep;Father, I ownThy love aloneThy little one doth keep.All through the day,I humbly pray,Be Thou my Guard and Guide;My sins forgiveAnd let me live,Blest Jesus, near Thy side. Amen.3.
Now I raise me up from sleep,I thank the Lord who did me keep,All through the night; and to Him prayThat He may keep me through the day.All which for Jesus' sake, I say. Amen.4.
O help me, Lord, this day to beThy own dear child and follow Thee;And lead me, Savior, by Thy handUntil I reach the heavenly land. Amen.5.
O Lord, my God, to Thee prayWhile from my bed I riseThat all I do and all I sayBe pleasing to Thine eyes. Amen.6.
Jesus, Lord, to Thee I pray,Guide and guard me through this day.As the shepherd tends his sheep.Lord, me safe from evil keep.Keep my feet from every snare,Keep me with Thy watchful care.All my little wants supplyIf I live or if I die.And when life, O Lord, is past,Take me to Thyself at last. Amen.7.
In the early morning,With the sun's first rays.All God's little childrenThank and pray and praise.I, too, thanks would offer,Jesus, Shepherd dear,For Thy tender pasture,For Thy guiding care.And I would implore Thee,Be with me this day,Lest I from Thee wander,Into danger stray. Amen.8.
For this new morning with its light,For rest and shelter of the night,For health and food, for love and friends.For everything Thy goodness sends,We thank Thee, dearest Lord. Amen.9.
I thank Thee, Lord, for sleep and rest,For all the things that I love best,Now guide me through another dayAnd bless my work and bless my play.Lord, make me strong for noble ends,Protect and bless my loving friends;Of all mankind good Christians make.All this I ask for Jesus' sake. Amen.10.
Jesus, gentle Shepherd,Bless Thy lamb to-day;Keep me in Thy footsteps,Never let me stray.Guard me through the daytime.Every hour, I pray;Keep my feet from strayingFrom the narrow way. Amen.11.
Keep my little tongue to-day,Keep it gentle while I play;Keep my hands from doing wrong.Keep my feet the whole day long;Keep me all, O Jesus mild,Keep me ever Thy dear child. Amen.12.
Jesus, keep me all this day.When at school and when at play;May I do all things I ought,May I hate each evil thought;Help me love and trust in TheeNow and through eternity. Amen.13.
O blessed Lord, protect Thou meAnd my dear parents graciously;With Thy strong arm be ever nearTo brothers and to sisters dear.And all our loved ones in the land,Protect them with Thine own right hand.From sin defend and keep me free;Help me a Christlike child to be. Amen.14.
My Father, for another nightOf quiet sleep and rest.For all the joys of morning light,Thy holy name be blest....
