Poems (Coolidge)/A Morning Prayer
A MORNING PRAYER
Journey with me, blessed Saviour,
Through the day that dawneth now;
Though the heat of noonday weary,
Let me turn not from the plough.
Through the day that dawneth now;
Though the heat of noonday weary,
Let me turn not from the plough.
Over dreary waste or desert,
If I climb the mountain steep,
Guide thou all my faltering footsteps,
I in thine my hand would keep.
If I climb the mountain steep,
Guide thou all my faltering footsteps,
I in thine my hand would keep.
Should dark clouds above me gather,
Or if sunshine light the way,
May my heart be constant ever,
Love for thee its guiding ray.
Or if sunshine light the way,
May my heart be constant ever,
Love for thee its guiding ray.
When the evening shadows deepen,
Be thou still my staff, my stay;
Show to Faith the radiant dawning
Of an everlasting day.
Be thou still my staff, my stay;
Show to Faith the radiant dawning
Of an everlasting day.
