Representative Text

1 When morning lights the eastern skies,

Refrain:

3 Because Thou art my God, I pray,
Teach me to do Thy will;
O lead me in the perfect way,
By Thy good Spirit still. [Refrain]

4 Revive me, Lord, for Thy great name,
And for Thy judgment's sake;
From all my woes, O lord, reclaim,
My soul from trouble take. [Refrain]
