When thou wakest in the morning (Hymn 788)

Verse 1: When thou wakest in the morning Ere thou tread'st the untried way Of the lot that lies before thee Through the coming busy day; Whether sunbeams promise brightness, Whether dim forebodings fall, Be thy dawning glad or gloomy, Go to Jesus, tell Him all. Verse 2: In the calm of sweet communion Let thy daily work be done; In the peace of soul-outpouring Care be banished, patience won; And if earth with its enchantments Seek thy spirit to enthrall, Ere thou listen, ere thou answer, Turn to Jesus, tell Him all. Verse 3: Then, as hour by hour glides by thee, Thou wilt blessed guidance know, Thine own burdens being lightened, Thou canst bear another's woe; Thou canst help the weak ones onward, Thou canst raise up those that fall: But remember, while thou servest, Still tell Jesus, tell Him all. Verse 4: And if weariness creeps o'er thee As the day wears to its close, Or if sudden fierce temptation Bring thee face to face with foes; In thy weakness, in thy peril, Raise to heaven a truthful call; Strength and calm for every crisis Come, in telling Jesus all.
