Now, before we work to-day,

We must not forget to pray

To God, who kept us through the night,

And woke us with the morning light.

Help us, Lord, to love thee more

Than we ever loved before;

In our work and in our play,

Be thou with us through the day.

Now I wake and see the light;

God has kept me through the night.

Lord, bless thy little child to-day;

Make me good and kind, I pray.
