Father of mercies! when the day is dawning,
Then will I pay my vows to thee;
Like incense wafted on the breath of morning,
My heart-felt praise to Heaven shall be.
Yes, thou art near me; sleeping or waking,
Still doth thy care unchanged remain;
If ever I wander, thy ways forsaking,
O lead me gently back again.
