Explore "Morning Hymn" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
O Lord of life, thy quickening voice / Awakes my morning song! / In gladsome words I would rejoice / That I to thee belong.
I see thy light, I feel thy wind; / The world, it is thy word; / Whatever wakes my heart and mind, / Thy presence is, my Lord.
The living soul which I call me / Doth love, and long to know; / It is a thought of living thee, / Nor forth of thee can go.
Therefore I choose my highest part, / And turn my face to thee; / Therefore I stir my inmost heart / To worship fervently.
Lord, let me live and will this day -- / Keep rising from the dead; / Lord, make my spirit good and gay -- / Give me my daily bread.
Within my heart, speak, Lord, speak on, / My heart alive to keep, / Till comes the night, and, labour done, / In thee I fall asleep.
