Once more the sun is beaming bright, Once more to God we pray, That his eternal light my guide And cheer our souls this day.

O may no sin our hands defile Or cause our minds to rove, Upon our lips be simple truth, And in our hearts be love!

Throughout the day, o Christ, in thee, May ready help found, To save our souls from Satan's wiles, Who still is hov'ring round.

Subservient to thy daily praise, Our daily toil shall be; So may our works, in thee begun, Be further'd Lord, by Thee.

And lest the flesh,Profane and proud, Subdue the yielding soul, My self-constraining temperance, Carnal desires control.

To God the father God the son And god the Holy Ghost eternal Glory be from man and From the angel host.
