MORNING SONG, by                    
First Line: At early morn, thee will I seek
Last Line: Whilst yet in us the spirit lives.
Subject(s): Devotion; Jews; Praise; Judaism


AT early morn, Thee will I seek
In pray'r, O Rock of my defence!
'Fore Thy greatness stand I in awe,
Abash'd at Thy omnipotence.

O, what avails the power of man!
Thy hand its limits doth control;
O, where the beauty of the form
That clothes in clay the god-like soul?

All these are naught; whate'er we are,
Whate'er we have, Thy goodness gives;
Then let our praise to Thee ascend,
Whilst yet in us the spirit lives.
