Hymns of the Kingdom of God ‎#359

359. O Lord, it is a blessed thing

1 O Lord, it is a blessèd thing
To Thee both morn and night to bring
Our worship’s lowly offering,

2 And, from the strife of tongues away,
Ere toil begins, to meet and pray
For blessings on the coming day,

3 And night by night for evermore
Again with blended voice to pour
Deep thanks for mercies gone before.

4 O Jesus, be our morning Light,
That we may go forth to the fight
With strength renewed and armor bright.

5 And when our daily work is o’er,
And sins and weakness we deplore,
O be Thou then our Light once more.

6 Light of the world, with us abide,
And to Thyself our footsteps guide
At morn, and noon, and eventide.
