In the Morning

By Marianne Farningham

A DANGEROUS time is the morning! There is little to fear at night; Calm are the eyes in closing, Tired of the urgent light; The body is healed into sleeping, Trouble and labor cease; The soul is in God's safe keeping, The heart is in perfect peace.
But who can say in the morning How fierce will the trials be? What difficult paths may be trodden, What griefs may encompass me? The great, wide world is sunlighted; But I see not an hour before What new, strange sorrows or dangers The future may have in store.
O, speak to me in the morning, Lord of my every day! Thou art my great Director As I pass to the hidden way; If I hear thy voice in the morning, I open the day with song; Forth shall I go to conquer, Thy presence shall make me strong. — Marianne Farningham.
