Begin the Day with God



 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. 
To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, 
and to him I will give a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, 
which no one knows except he who receives it.

(Revelation 2:17)

1

Begin the day with God!

     He is thy Sun and Day!

His is the radiance of thy dawn;

     To Him address thy lay (1).

 

2

Sing a new song at morn!

     Join the glad woods and hills;

Join the fresh winds and seas and plains,

     Join the bright flowers and rills (2).

 

3

Sing thy first song to God!

     Not to thy fellow men;

Not to the creatures of His hand,

    But to the glorious One.

 

4

Take thy first walk with God!

     Let Him go forth with thee;

By stream, or sea, or mountain path,

     Seek still His company.

5

Thy first transaction be

     With God Himself above;

So shall thy business prosper well

     And all the day be love.

(1) lay = a short poem that is sung

(2) rill = a small brook
