167. Now That the Sun is Beaming Bright

1 Now that the sun is beaming bright,
Once more to God we pray.
That He, the uncreated Light,
May guide our souls this day,
That He, the uncreated Light,
May guide our souls this day.

2 No sinful word, nor deed of wrong,
Nor thoughts that idly rove;
But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love,
But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love.

3 And while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence
Our gates beleaguered by the foe,
The gate of every sense,
Our gates beleaguered by the foe,
The gate of every sense.

4 And grant that to Thine honor, Lord,
Our daily toil may tend;
That we begin it at Thy word,
And in Thy favor end,
That we begin it at Thy word,
And in Thy favor end.

Amen.
