New Every Morning Is The Love

1    New every morning is the love

      our waking and uprising prove:

      through sleep and darkness safely brought,

      restored to life and power and thought.

2    New mercies, each returning day,

      surround your people as they pray:

      new dangers past, new sins forgiven,

      new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3    If in our daily life our mind

      be set to honour all we find,

      new treasures still, of countless price,

      God will provide for sacrifice.

4    The trivial round, the common task,

      will give us all we ought to ask:

      room to deny ourselves, a road

      to bring us daily nearer God.

5    Prepare us, Lord, in your dear love

      for perfect rest with you above,

      and help us, this and every day,

      to grow more like you as we pray.
