VIII. A new Song for Morning and Evening

I My God, how endless is thy love!
Thy gifts are ev'ry ev'ning new:
And morning-mercies from above
Gently distil like earthly dew.

II Thou spread'st the curtains of the night,
Great Guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sov'reign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy pow'rs.

III I yield my pow'rs to thy command,
To thee I consecrate my days:
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.
