The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#178c

178c. Go when the morning shineth

1 Go when the morning shineth,
Go when the moon is bright,
Go when the even declineth,
Go in the hush of night;
Go with pure mind and feeling
Fling earthly thought away,
And in thy closet kneeling,
Do thou in secret pray.

2 Remember all who love thee,
All who are loved by thee;
Pray, too, for those who hate thee,
If any such there be;
Then for thyself, in meekness,
A blessing humbly claim,
And blend with each petition
Thy Great Redeemer's name.

3 Or, if 'tis e'er denied thee
In solitude to pray,
Should holy thoughts come o'er thee
When friends are round thy way.
E'evn then the silent breathing
Thy spirit lifts above,
Will reach His throne of glory.
Where dwells eternal love.

4 Oh, set a joy or blessing
With this can we compare,--
The grace our Father gives us,
To pour our souls in prayer;
When;er thou art in sadness,
Before his footstool fall;
Remember, too, in gladness,
His love who gave them all.
