O Father, hear my morning prayer,
thine aid import to me,
that I may make my life today
acceptable to thee.
May this desire my spirit rule,
and, as the moments fly,
something of good be born in me,
something of evil die.
Some grace, that seeks
my heart to win,
with shining victory meet;
some sin, that strives for mastery,
find overthrow complete.
That so throughout the coming day
the hours may carry me
a little farther from the world,
a little nearer thee.
