I have chosen a photograph taken in Nice for my morning picture today. We were fortunate enough to be able to visit there several times a few years ago. The following hymn is rarely sung these days but I found it in my old Methodist Hymn Book and the words are still relevant today.
The star of morn has risen:
O Lord, to Thee we pray
O uncreated Light of Light,
Guide Thou our way.
Sinless be tongue and hand,
And innocent the mind'
Let simple truth be on our lips,
Our hearts be kind.
As the swift day rolls on,
Still, Lord, our guardian be;
And keep the portals of our hearts
From evil free.
Grant that our daily toil
May to Thy glory tend;
And as our hours begin with Thee,
So may they end.
