O God Thy World Is Sweet With Prayer

O God, thy world is sweet with prayer;
The breath of Christ is in the air;
We rise on thy free Spirit’s wings,
And every thought within us sings.

Thou art our morning and our sun,
Our work is glad, in Thee begun;
Our foot worn path is fresh with dew,
For Thou createst all things new.

O God, within us and above,
Close to us in the Christ we love,
Through him, our only guide and way,
May heavenly life be ours today!
