042. NEW EVERY MORNING

Church Hymnal 1941,


1.
New every morning is the love 
Our wakening and uprising prove; 
Through sleep and darkness safely brought, 
Restored to life, and power, and thought. 

2.
New mercies, each returning day, 
Hover around us while we pray; 
New perils past, new sins forgiven, 
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven. 

3.
If on our daily course our mind 
Be set to hallow all we find, 
New treasures still, of countless price, 
God will provide for sacrifice. 

4.
The trivial round, the common task, 
Will furnish all we need to ask; 
Room to deny ourselves; a road 
To bring us daily nearer God. 

5.
Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, 
Fit us for perfect rest above; 
And help us, this and every day, 
To live more nearly as we pray.
