34. In the early morning

1 In the early morning,
With the sun's first rays,
All God's little children
Thank, and pray, and praise.

2 To Thee thanks I offer,
Jesus, Shepherd dear,
For Thy tender pasture
And Thy guiding care.

3 And I would implore Thee,
Be with me this day,
Lest I from Thee wander,
Into danger stray.

4 If Thou dwell within me,
Evil far must go,
And I shall be tasting
Bliss that angels know.

5 In the hush of evening,
With the sun's last rays
All God's little children
Thank, and pray, and praise.

6 Always in Thy keeping,
Jesus, Savior dear,
Whether waking, sleeping,
We Thy children are.
