Let My Prayer Ascend On High

Verse 1

In this calm impressive hour Let my prayer ascend on high; God of mercy, God of pow'r, Hear me, when to thee I cry-- Hear me from thy lofty throne, For the sake of Christ thy Son.

Verse 2

With this morning's early ray, While the shades of night depart, Let thy beams of light convey Joy and gladness to my heart: Now o'er all my steps preside, And for all my wants provide.

Verse 3

Oh! what joy that word affords, "Thou shalt reign o'er all the earth;" King of kings, and Lord of lords, Send thy gospel-heralds forth: Now begin thy boundless sway, Usher in the glorious day.
