Now that the day light fills the sky

by Unknown

Now that the day light fills the sky
"Ok that my way were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Psalm. 119:5
Now that the day light fills the sky,
We lift our hearts to God on high,
That He, in all we do or say,
Would keep us free from harm to-day:
Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife,
From anger's din world hide our life,
From all ill sights would turn our eyes,
Would close our ears from vanities:
Would keep our inmost conscience pure,
Our souls from folly would secure,
Would bid us check the pride of sense
With due and holy abstinence.
So we, when this new day is gone
And night in turn is drawing on,
With conscience by the world unstained,
Shall praise His Name for Victory gained.
