Christ My Song - 2460

My soul, can'st thou no higher rise - For the Morning
(Augustus M. Toplady/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

For the Morning.

1. My soul, can'st thou no higher rise
  to meet thy God, than this?
Yet, Lord, accept my sacrifice,
  defective as it is. PDF - Midi

2. Tune all my organs to thy praise,
  the psalmist's muse impart;
and, with thy penetrating rays,
  oh melt my frozen heart.

3. Give me thyself the only Good,
  and ever with me stay,
whose faithful mercies are renewed
  with each returning day.

4. Ah! guide me with a Father's eye,
  nor from my soul depart,
but let the Day Star from on high
  illuminate my heart.

5. This day preserve me without sin,
  unspotted in thy ways;
and hear me, while I usher in
  the welcome dawn with praise.

6. Far as the east from west remove
  each earthly, vain desire;
and raise me on the wings of love,
  till I can mount no higher.

Augustus M. Toplady, Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1860, 31-32.
