The morning walks upon the earth,
And man awakes to toil and mirth;
All living things and lands are gay�
Dear God, walk with me through the day.
Sweet is the breathing of the
world,
As in Thy love it lies unfurled;
And blue and clear th�immortal sky;
�Tis Thine, and Thine its purity.
Now noon sits throned, her golden urn
Pours forth the sunshine! Laugh and burn
Corn-land and meadow, lake and sea!
Lord of my life, pour love on me.
Slow comes the evening o�er the hill,
The labor of the world is still;
Homeward I go, and muse of Thee�
Father of home, abide with me.
