In the morning light we praise you,
Rising from the death of sin.
In the quietness of evening,
Fall asleep in you again:
Refrain:
Lord, we bless you and confess you,
Magnify your name alone,
As we gather ‘round your throne.
While you give us breath and motion,
Fill us with your Spirit’ power,
Kindle love’s intense devotion,
Help us face hate’s darkest hour: Ref.
Hands of service, hearts of kindness,
Reaching out to those in need,
Help us see the Savior’s image,
In the midst of pain and greed: Ref.
Glory be to God the Father,
Glory be to God the Son,
Glory be to God the Spirit,
While eternal ages run: Ref.
