A Morning Prayer.

NOW the shades of night are gone; Now is passed the early dawn; Lord, we would be thine to-day; Drive the shades of sin away.

Make our souls as noonday clear; Banish every doubt and fear; In thy vineyard, Lord, to-day, We would labor, we would pray.

When our work of life is past, Oh, receive us all at last; Labor then will all be o'er, Sin's dark night will be no more.
