EN 2557 New Every Morning Is the Love

Lam.3.22

Versi Version 1

1

New every morning is the love

Our wakening and uprising prove;

Through sleep and darkness safely brought,

Restored to life and power and thought.

2

New mercies, each returning day,

Hover around us while we pray;

New perils past, new sins forgiven,

New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3

If, on our daily course, our mind

Be set to hallow all we find,

New treasures still, of countless price,

God will provide for sacrifice.

4

Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,

As more of heaven in each we see;

Some softening gleam of love and prayer

Shall dawn on every cross and care.

5

We need not bid, for cloistered cell,

Our neighbor and our words farewell,

Nor strive to find ourselves too high

For sinful man beneath the sky.

6

The trivial round, the common task,

Will furnish all we ought to ask;

Room to deny ourselves, a road

To bring us daily nearer God.

7

Seek we no more; content with these,

Let present rapture, comfort, ease—

As heaven shall bid them, come and go:

The secret this of rest below.

8

Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love,

Fit us for perfect rest above,

And help us, this and every day,

To live more nearly as we pray.
