Great is Thy Faithfulness

I lie down in my bed
I cover myself with the cross.
Great is thy faithfulness.

My soul rises as the day
rises to meet the sun.
I light the vigil candle
morning by morning new mercies I see.

In the midday guide me
with your right hand.
Let the light shine
and the praises flow
from my lips like
life-giving waters.
I sit to eat at your bountiful table.
All I have needed thy hand hath provided.

In the evening I search
my heart and am silent.
I seek within
trust to offer, grace to give.
I will find these new in the morning light,
but now am peaceful in the night.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.
