For the Morning

Verse 1

My God was with me all the night, And gave me sweet repose; His angels watched me while I slept, Or I had never rose.

Verse 2

Now for the mercies of the night, My humble thanks I'll pay; And unto God I'll dedicate, The first fruits of the day.

Verse 3

In midst of dangers, fear and death, Thy goodness I'll adore, And praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more.

Verse 4

My life, if thou preserve my life, Thy sacrifice shall be; My death, when death must be my lat, Shall join my soul to thee.
