Representative Text

1 Ere the morning lights the skies,
Does there in your hearts arise,
Love to Jesus for His tender, watchful care?
Do you thank Him for the love,
That He sends from heav'n above,
To protect and lead you thro' life's deserts bare?

Refrain:
Do you praise and trust the Lord,
Ev'ry morning, noon and night?
Do the blessings of His word
Fill your soul with pure delight?

2 When the noonday sun is bright,
Do your hearts in love unite,
Praising Jesus for His blessings, rich and free?
Do you trust Him ev'ry hour,
For His mercy, grace and pow'r,
Do you trust His wondrous love eternally? [Refrain]

3 When the shades of night appear,
Do you kneel with hearts sincere,
Seeking Jesus' watchful care till life is o'er?
Do you ask His love and peace
To sustain, till life shall cease,
Till the Saviour calls His own to heaven's bright shore? [Refrain]
