Now that the daylight fills the sky,
We
lift our hearts to God on high
That
He, in all we do or say,
Would
keep us free from harm today;
2
Would
guard our hearts and tongues from strife;
From
anger’s din would shield our life;
From
evil sights would turn our eyes,
And
close our ears to vanities;
3
So
we, when this new day is gone
And
night in turn is drawing on,
With
conscience by the world unstrained
Shall
praise His name for vict’ry gained.
4
All
praise to You, creator Lord!
All
praise to You, eternal Word!
All
praise to You, O Spirit wise!
We
sing as daylight fills the skies.
