Go when the Morning Shineth

Go when the morning shineth Go, when the noon is bright; Go, when the eve declineth; Go, in the hush of night; Go with pure mind and feeling Fling earthly cares away, And in thy chamber kneeling Do thou in secret pray.

Remember all who love thee, All who are loved by thee; Pray too for those who hate thee, If any such there be: Then for thyself in meekness A blessing humbly claim, And link with each petition, Thy great Redeemer's name.

Or if 'tis here denied thee In solitude to pray, Should holy thoughts come o'er thee, When friends are round thy way, E'en then the silent pleading, Of thy heart raised above Will reach His throne of glory, Who's mercy, truth, and love.

Oh, not a joy or blessing, With this can we compare: The pow'r that He has giv'n us To pour our souls in pray'r; Where'er thou pin'st in sadness, Before His footstool fall, Remember in thy gladness His grace who gives thee all.
