Dear Lord, who sought at dawn of day

1 Dear Lord, Who sought at dawn of day
The solitary woods to pray;
In quietness we come to ask
Thy guidance for the daily task.

2 O Master, who with kindly face
At noonday trod the market place;
We crave a brother's smile and song
While mingling in the lonely throng.

3 Thou wearied Christ at eventide
Communing on the mountain side;
In mystic stillness now we seek
Thy presence for the coming week.

4 Strong Pilot, Who at midnight hour
Could calm the sea with gentle power;
Grant us the skill to aid the bark
Of those who drift in storm and dark.
