Once more the sun is beaming bright,

1.

Once more the sun is beaming bright,

Once more to God we pray,

That His eternal light may guide

And cheer our soul this day.

2.

O may no sin our hands defile

Or cause our minds to rove,

Upon our lips be simple truth,

And in our hearts be love!.

3.

Throughout the day, O Christ, in Thee

May ready help be found,

To save our souls from Satan’s wiles,

Who still is hov’ring round.

4.

Subservient to Thy daily praise

Our daily toil shall be:

So may our works, in Thee begun,

Be further’d Lord, by Thee.

5.

And lest the flesh, profane and proud,

Subdue the yielding soul,

May self- constraining temperance

Canal desire control

6.

To God the father God the son,

And God the Holy Ghost,

Eternal glory be from man,

And from the angel host
