Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #399 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, as the day begins
lift up our hearts in praise;
take from us all our sins,
guard us in all our ways:
our every step direct and guide
that Christ in all be glorified!
2 Christ be in work and skill,
serving each other's need;
Christ be in thought and will,
Christ be in word and deed:
our minds be set on things above
in joy and peace, in faith and love.
3 Grant us the Spirit's strength,
teach us to walk his way;
so bring us all at length
safe to the close of day:
from hour to hour sustain and bless,
and let our song be thankfulness.
4 Now as the day begins
make it the best of days;
take from us all our sins,
guard us in all our ways:
our every step direct and guide
that Christ in all be glorified! Topics: The Church Morning; Christ Abiding with Believers; Christian Service; Supplication For Sanctification Scripture: Psalm 5:3 Languages: English Tune Title: SAMUEL
