"Every Morning Mercies New"

Every morning mercies new Fall as fresh morning dew;

Every morning let us pay Tribute with the early day;

For Thy mercies, Lord are sure; Thy compassion doth endure.

Still the greatness of Thy love Daily doth our sins remove;

Daily far as east from west, Lifts the burdens from the breast;

Gives unbought, to those who pray, Strength to stand in evil day.

Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail;

And, as we confess the sin And the tempter's power within,

Feed us with the Bread of Life; Fit us for our daily strife.

As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendor burns,

Teach us still to turn to Thee, Ever blessed Trinity,

With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise.

Lamentations 3:20-26

20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassion fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore I hope in him.

25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
