MORNING HYMN

St Just in Roseland Church
Morning comes with light all-cheering,
Shades of night have fled apace;
Source of light, by Thine appearing,
From our minds all darkness chase;
Thou hast blest us in our sleep;
Through the day direct and keep.

Man goes to his work till evening
Brings again the needed rest;
Grant that we, Thy grace receiving,
May in all we do be blest;
And wherever we may be
Find our joy in pleasing Thee.

(James Englebert Vanner 1831-1906)

(This hymn is not sung much these days and is taken from the old Methodist Hymn Book)
I will be putting more about the above church on the blog in the coming days
