Come to the morning prayer

1.

Come to the morning prayer

Come, let us kneel and pray;

Pray’r is the Christian pilgrim’s staff

To walk with God all day

2.

At noon beneath the Rock

Of Ages rest and pray;

Sweet is the shadow from the heat

When the sun smites by day

3.

At eve shut to the door

Round the home-altar pray

And finding there the house of God

At heav’ns gate close the day

4.

When midnight seals our eyes

Let each in spirit say

I sleep but my heart waketh, Lord

With Thee to watch and pray
