When Morning Lights The Eastern Skies

When morning lights the eastern skies,
O Lord, thy mercy show;
On Thee alone my hope relies,
Let me thy kindness know.

Teach me the way that I should go;
I lift my soul to Thee;
For refuge from my cruel foe
To Thee, O Lord, I flee.

Thou art my God, to Thee I pray;
Teach me thy will to heed;
And in the right and perfect way
May thy good Spirit lead.

For thy name’s sake, O gracious Lord,
Revive my soul and bless,
And in thy faithfulness and love
Redeem me from distress.
