MORNING HYMN . OH thou restorer of my frame ! I thank thy love , I bless thy name , For peace and safety thro' this night , For health , and for returning light . Oh ! may I rise prepared to meet , What thou for me shalt think most fit ; Prepared my duties to pursue , In all my hand can find to do . To call on thee my gracious lord , To read and to observe thy word To rule my house with pious care , And strive that love and peace be there . Each portion of my time to fill Neglect no good , and do no ill ; To guard my heart , restrain my tongue , And patiently to suffer wrong . That when again the day shall close , My conscience break not my repose ; But I may view the day when past , Well pleas'd , tho' it should be my last .
