Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now that the sun is gleaming bright,
Once more to God we pray,
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.
3 And while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence
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. Topics: Morning Used With Tune: ST. ANN Text Sources: Hymns for Public and Private Use, Tr. 1847, a.
