To prayer, to prayer! for the morning breaks,
And earth in her Maker’s smiles awakes.
His light is on all below and above—
The light of gladness, and life, and love.
O, then, on the breath of this early air,
Send upward the incense of grateful prayer.
To prayer! for the glorious sun is gone,
And the gathering darkness of night comes on.
Like a curtain from God’s kind hand it flows
To shade the couch where his children repose.
Then kneel, while the watching stars are bright,
And give your last thoughts to the Guardian of night.
