Through Today\'s Time

Tune: Deus Tuorum Militum

((\'Awake, awake, fling off the night\')

********

If bright our hearts, if bright our ways

Or seeming dark now be our days

Come shine your light, beams burst upon

Your people, children every one

 

Thankful in times of ease or care

And where be troubles anywhere

Help us be humble, wait your time

For your guidance throughout life\'s rhyme

 

Not trusting to feelings alone

But you Lord God by faith be known

That sure foundation, planting roots

From whence we bud, produce good shoots

 

Earth\'s temporary joys we hold

Though you have more, a hundredfold

Of heaven\'s joys, eternal bliss

Salvation in you, we know this

 

So on through each day, then at night

Grant us sweet sleep now in your sight

And to awake refreshed, renewed

With your fine graces, gifts endued
