LORD, IN THE MORNING THOU SHALT HEAR
"They rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the Lord." 1
Samuel 1:19
Words: Isaac Watts, Psalms of David, 1719.
Music: "Warwick," Samuel Stanley, 1800.
Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To Thee will I direct my prayer,
To Thee lift up mine eye.
Up to the hills, where Christ is gone
To plead for all His saints,
Presenting at His Father's throne,
Our songs and our complaints.
But to Thy house will I resort,
To taste Thy mercies there;
I will frequent Thy holy court,
And worship in Thy fear.
O may Thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness
Make every path of duty straight
And plain before my face
