Father, in My Life's Young Morning

Verse 1

Father! in my life's young morning, May thy word direct my way; Let me heed each gracious warning, Lest my feet should go astray; Make me willing, make me willing, All its precepts to obey; Let me heed each gracious warning, Lest my feet should go astray.

Verse 2

Father! gentle is thy teaching; Be a docile spirit mine; Ev'ry day thy grace beseeching, Let thy loving kindness shine Always on me, always on me, And my heart be wholly thine. Ev'ry day thy grace beseeching, Let thy loving-kindness shine.

Verse 3

Father! let me never covet Things of vanity and pride; Teach me truth, and may I love it Better than all else beside. Blessed Bible! blessed Bible! May it be my heavenward guide. Teach me truth, and may I love it Better than all else beside.
