Trinity Hymnal

As the sun doth daily rise — Innocents

Original Trinity Hymnal, #329

As the sun doth daily rise,
Bright'ning all the morning skies,
So to thee with one accord
Lift we up our hearts, O Lord.

Day by day provide us food,
For from thee come all things good:
Strength unto our souls afford
From thy living Bread, O Lord!

Be our Guard in sin and strife;
Be the Leader of our life;
Lest like sheep we stray abroad,
Stay our wayward feet, O Lord!

Quickened by the Spirit's grace
All thy holy will to trace,
While we daily search thy Word,
Wisdom true impart, O Lord!

When the sun withdraws his light,
When we seek our beds at night,
Thou, by sleepless hosts adored,
Hear the pray'r of faith, O Lord!

Praise we, with the heavn'ly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost;
Thee would we with one accord
Praise and magnify, O Lord!
