Once more the sun is beaming bright,

Once more to God we pray,

That His eternal light may guide

And cheer our soul this day.

O may no sin our hands defile

Or cause our minds to rove,

Upon our lips be simple truth,

And in our hearts be love!.

Throughout the day, O Christ, in thee

May ready help be found,

To save our souls from Satan’s wiles,

Who still is hov’ring round.

Subservient to Thy daily praise

Our daily toil shall be:

So may our works, in Thee begun,

Be further’d Lord, by Thee.

And lest the flesh, profane and proud,

Subdue the yielding soul,

May self- constraining temperance

Canal desire control

To God the father God the son,

And God the Holy Ghost,

Eternal glory be from man,

And from the angel host

Amen.
