Author: N. Herman, c. 1480-1561 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #78 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The radiant sun shines in the skies,
With joy from sleep we now arise.
All praise to God, who through this night
Hath kept us from the devil's might.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, guide us this day,
Keep sin and shame far from our way.
Thy guardian angels to us send
And let them to our wants attend.
3 Direct our hearts to do Thy will
And for Thy Word true love instill
That we may do whate'er is right
And ever pleasing in Thy sight.
4 Crown all our labors with success,
Each one in his own calling bless.
May all we do or think or say
Exalt and praise Thee, Lord, this day!
