Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #538 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Family Life Prayers Lyrics: 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky,
We lift our hearts to God on high,
That He, in all we do or say,
Would keep us free from harm to-day;
2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife,
From anger's din would hide our life,
From all ill sights would turn our eyes,
And close our ears to vanities;
3 Would keep our inmost conscience pure,
Our souls from folly would secure,
Would bid us check the pride of sense
With due and holy abstinence;
4 So we, when this new day is gone,
And night in turn is drawing on,
With conscience by the world unstained,
Shall praise His Name for victory gained.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
