Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#168

168. While yet the Morn is Breaking

1 While yet the morn is breaking,
I thank my God once more,
Beneath whose care awaking,
I find the night is o'er;
I thank Him that He calls me
To life and health anew,
I know, whate'er befalls me,
His care will still be true.

2 Guardian of Israel, hear me,
Watch o'er me through the day,
In all I do be near me:
For others too I pray;
To Thee I would commend them,
Our church, our youth, our land,
Direct them and defend them,
When dangers are at hand.

3 Oh! gently grant Thy blessing,
That we may do Thy will,
No more Thy ways transgressing,
Our proper task fulfill;
With Peter's full affiance
Let down our nets again,
If Thou art our reliance,
Our toil will not be vain.

4 Thou art the Vine--oh! nourish
The branches graft in Thee,
And let them grow and flourish,
A fair and fruitful tree;
Thy Spirit put within us,
And let His gifts of grace
To all good actions win us,
That best may show His praise.
