The ra­di­ant sun shines in the skies;
With joy from sleep we now arise.
All praise to God, who thro’ this night
Hath kept us from the dev­il’s might.

Lord Je­sus Christ, guide us this day;
Keep sin and shame far from our way.
Thy guard­ian an­gels to us send
And let them to our wants at­tend.

Direct our hearts to do Thy will,
And for Thy Word true love in­still
That we may do what­e’er is right
And ev­er pleas­ing in Thy sight.

Crown all our la­bors with suc­cess,
Each one in his own call­ing bless.
May all we do or think or say
Exalt and praise Thee, Lord, this day!
