Hymn 11
Once more the sun is bearing bright
Scripture: Ps. 37:5
1
Once more the sun is bearing bright,
Once more to God we pray,
That His eternal light may guide
And cheer our souls this day.
2
O may no sin our hands defile
Or cause our minds to rove,
Upon our lips be simple truth,
And in our hearts be love!
3
Throughout the day, O Christ, in Thee
May ready help be found,
To save our souls from Stan’s wishes
Who still is hov’ring round
4
Subservient to Thy daily praise
Our daily toil shall be;
So may our works, in Thee begun,
Be further’d the Lord, by Thee
5
And lest the flesh, profane and proud,
Subdue the yielding soul,
May self-contraining temperance
Carnal desires control
6
To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Holy Ghost,
Eternal glory be from man,
And from the angel host
