L. M.
A song for morning or evening. Lam.3:23; Isa.45:7.
God, how endless is thy love!
Thy gifts are every evening new;
And morning mercies from above
Gently distil like early dew.
Thou spread'st the curtains of the night,
Great guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sovereign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
I yield my powers to thy command,
To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.
