580. Every Morning Mercies New

1 Ev'ry morning mercies new
Fall as fresh as morning dew;
Ev'ry morning let us pay
Tribute with the early day.
For your mercies, Lord, are sure;
Your compassion will endure.

2 Still your kindness and your love
Ev'ry day our sins remove;
Daily, far as east from west,
Lift the burden from the breast;
Give unbought to those who pray
Strength to live for you each day.

3 Let our prayers each morn prevail
That these gifts may never fail.
And as we confess our sin
And the tempter's pow'r within,
Feed us with the bread of life;
Fit us for our daily strife.

4 As the morning light returns,
As the sun with splendor burns,
Teach us still to turn to you;
With your light our souls renew.
Then shall we our voices raise
In unfailing prayer and praise.
