Morning Devotions.

"My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O Lord! in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up."-Ps. v. 3.

HE morning breaks! glory to God

THE

Most high! the God of boundless might;

Being from whom all goodness flows,

Great Giver of all life and light.

To Thee I raise my waking eyes;
To Thee lift up my soul to pray:
My God, I bless Thee for the light,
The glories of the opening day.

Help me, this day, to do Thy will;
My pathway gild with light divine;
Inspire my soul with peace and love,
And henceforth make me wholly Thine.

C

Let me not heed the tempter's wiles,
Nor from Thy counsels turn aside;
In all my thoughts and words and deeds,
May Thy good Spirit be my guide.

GOD turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and reneweth the face

of the earth.

I laid me down and slept, and rose up again; for the Lord sustained me.

His compassions fail not: they are new every morning.

Blot out as the night, O Lord! all my transgressions; and scatter my sins, as the morning cloud.

Oh, let me hear Thy loving-kindness betimes in the morning! for in Thee is my trust. Show Thou me the way that I should walk in, for I lift up my soul unto Thee.

O Lord! preserve my going out and coming in, from this time forth for ever

more.

Let Thy presence go with us throughout this day; and do Thou give us rest.

And the glorious Majesty of the Lord our God be upon us. Prosper Thou the work of our hands upon us; oh, prosper Thou our handy work!

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.

Amen.

"Evening and morning and at noon will I pray, and cry

aloud; and He shall hear my voice."-Ps. lv. 17.

BEGIN the day with God!

He is thy sun and day;

He is the radiance of thy dawn,

To him address thy lay.

Sing a new song at morn;

Join the glad woods and hills;

Join the fresh winds, and seas and plains;
Join the bright flowers and rills.

Take thy first walk with God;
Let Him go forth with Thee;
By stream or sea or mountain-path,
Seek still His company.

Thy first transaction be
With God Himself above;

So shall thy business prosper well,
And all the day be love.

"My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning."- Ps. v. 3

FATHER, while the shades of night

Fly before the crimson dawn, Heavenward speeds my soul her flight, Gladdened by the day, new born.

Through all the labors of this day,
Let Thy hand sustain me still;
Through all perils guard my way,
Make me strong to do Thy will.

Let my day dawn calm and bright,
Where no eye for ever weeps, –
Where for ever comes no night,

Where eternal sunshine sleeps.
