We lift our hearts to God on high
That he, in all we do or say,
Would keep us free from harm today,
2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife,
From angry words would shield our life,
From evil sights would turn our eyes,
And close our ears to vanities.
3 So we, when this new day is gone,
And night in turn is drawing on,
With conscience by the world unstained,
Shall praise his name for vict'ry gained.
4 "All praise to you, Creator Lord!
All praise to you, eternal Word!
All praise to you, O Spirit wise!"
We sing as daylight fills the skies. Topics: Morning; Morning Used With Tune: LAUREL Text Sources: Latin hymn, c. 8th century
