New every morning is the love

Verse 1

New every morning is the love our wakening and uprising prove; through sleep and darkness safely brought, restored to life and power and thought.

Verse 2

New mercies, each returning day, hover around us while we pray; new perils past, new sins forgiven, new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

Verse 3

If on our daily course our mind be set to hallow all we find, new treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice.

Verse 4

The trivial round, the common task, will furnish all we need to ask, room to deny ourselves, a road to bring us daily nearer God.

Verse 5

Only, O Lord, in thy dear love fit us for perfect rest above; and help us, this and every day, to live more nearly as we pray.
