Go when the morning shineth,

1.

Go when the morning shineth,

Go when the noon is bright,

Go when the eve declineth,

Go in the hush of night;

Go with pure mind and feeling,

Put earthly cares away,

And in thy chamber kneeling,

Do thou in secret pray.

2.

Remember all who love thee,

All who are loved by thee;

Pray, too, for those who hate thee,

If any such there be;

Then for thyself, in meekness,

A blessing humbly claim,

And blend with each petition

Thy great Redeemer’s name.

3.

Or, if ’tis here denied thee

In solitude to pray,

Should holy thoughts come o’er thee

When friends are round thy way,

E’en then, the silent pleading

Of Thy heart raised above

Will reach His throne of glory,

Who’s mercy, truth and love.

4.

Oh, not a joy or blessing

With this can we compare,

The pow’r that He has giv’n us

To pour our souls in prayer:

Whene’er thou pin’st in sadness,

Before His footstool fall!

Remember, in thy gladness,

His grace who gives thee all
