God, how endless is thy love!
Thy gifts are every evening new;
And morning mercies from above
Gently distill like early dew.
Thou spread’st the curtains of the night,
Great guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sovereign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
I yield my powers to thy command,
To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.

And born unholy and unclean;Sprung from the man whose guilty fallCorrupts the race, and taints us all.Soon as we draw our infant breath,The seeds of sin grow up for death;Thy law demands a perfect heart,But we’re defiled in every part.[Great God, create my heart anew,And form my spirit pure and true;O make me wise betimes…
