God Who Madest Earth and Heaven
God who madest earth and heaven,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Who the day and night hast given,
Sun and moon and starry host,
Thou whose mighty hand sustains
Earth and all that it contains:
Grant that I may rise this morning,
From the lethargy of sin;
So my soul, through Thy adorning,
Shall be glorious within;
And I at the close of day
Shall not shrink from Thee away.
Wholly to Thy best protection
I can commit my heart and mind.
Mighty God! to Thy direction
Wholly may I be resigned.
Lord, my Shield, my Light divine
O accept, and own me Thine.
Heinrich Albert, 1642
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:2
