Sweetly the Holy Hymn
VERSE 1
Sweetly
the holy hymn
Breaks
on the morning air;
Before
the world with smoke is dim
We meet
to offer prayer.
VERSE 2
While
flowers are wet with dews,
Dew of
our souls, descend:
Ere yet
the sun the day renews,
O Lord,
Thy Spirit send.
VERSE 3
Upon the
battlefield,
Before
the fight begins,
We seek,
O Lord, Thy sheltering shield,
To guard
us from our sins.
VERSE 4
Ere yet
our vessel sails
Upon the
stream of day
We
plead, O Lord, for heavenly gales
To speed
us on our way!
VERSE 5
On the
lone mountain side,
Before
the morning’s light,
The Man
of sorrows wept and cried,
And rose
refreshed with might.
VERSE 6
Oh, hear
us then, for we
Are very
weak and frail,
We make
the Savior’s Name our plea,
And
surely must prevail.
