At dressing in the morning

Now I arise, empow'r'd by Thee,

The glorious Sun to face;

O clothe me with humility,

Adorn me with thy grace.

All evil of the day fore-send,

Prevent the tempter's snare;

Thine angel on my steps attend,

And give me fruit to pray'r.

O make me useful as I go

My pilgrimage along;

And sweetly soothe this vale of woe,

By charity and song.

Let me from Christ obedience learn,

To Christ obedience pay;

Each parent duteous love return,

And consecrate the day.
