42. Now That the Daylight Fills the Sky

1 Now that the daylight fills the sky, We lift our hearts to God on high, That He, in all we do or say, Would keep us free from harm today; 2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife; From anger’s din would shield our life; From evil sights would turn our eyes, And close our ears to vanities; 3 So we, when this new day is gone And night in turn is drawing on, With conscience by the world unstained Shall praise His name for vict’ry gained. 4 “All praise to You, creator Lord! All praise to You, eternal Word! All praise to You, O Spirit wise!” We sing as daylight fills the skies.
