Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #4 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we need to ask,
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Topics: Assurance; Discipleship; Morning; Proper 21 Year B; The Second Sunday of Lent Year A; Work Scripture: Lamentations 3:22-23 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
