MORNING HYMN.

By Geo. E. Price

[Tune: "Lead, Kindly Light," "S. D. A. Hymns and Tunes," No. 777.]

THE morn has ushered in another day; Take Thou my heart. During these hours, O, grant I never may From Thee depart! My will unstable drives me to despair; Take Thou this feeble will beneath Thy care.

My soul, receiving all Thy tender care, Knows not the key In which Thy heart transmitteth from above Its love for me. Through all this day the guidance of Thy hand Help me to trace, teach me to understand.

My life, O Lord, is not attuned with Thine! My untrained ear Its discord with Thy harmony divine Can plainly hear. Its wishes and its purposes, O, take, And from its chords sweet harmony awake!

Too often has self touched the tender strings With hands unskilled, And restless discontent that failure brings My heart has filled. The tones I hear and fain would imitate Taunt my poor soul more than I can relate.

My brain, my heart, I consecrate to Thee, Thy will to do; And thus the love Thou dost bestow on me I may bestow. Ages ago Thou dwelt on earth 'mong men; Incarnate in my life return again. GEO. E. PRICE. Marysville, N. B., Canada.
