Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #619 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great God! my early vows to thee
With gratitude I'll bring;
And at the rosy dawn of day
Thy lofty praises sing.
2 Thou round the heavenly arch dost draw
A dark and sable veil,
And all the beauties of the world
From mortal eyes conceal.
3 Again thy sky with golden beams
Thy skilful hands adorn,
And paint with cheerful splendour gay
The fair ascending morn.
4 And as the gloomy night returns,
Or smiling day renews,
Thy constant goodness still my soul
With benefits pursues.
5 For this will I my vows to thee
With evening incense bring;
And at the rosy dawn of day
Thy lofty praises sing. Topics: God's Goodness renewed every Morning and Evening; The Lord's Day Morning
Great God! my early vows to thee
