Wednesday's Word: My Voice Shalt Thou Hear In The Morning

 

"In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare a prayer,
 a sacrifice for You, and watch and wait for You to speak to my heart."
(Psalm 5:3)

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

O Jesus, my Savior, my all;

While nature its music is waking,

On Thee from my heart will I call.

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

My praise to the hills shall ascend,

I'll join with the glorified millions

A chorus that shall never end.

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

O Jesus, my Shepherd and King;

Refreshed with the dews of Thy mercy,

Thy wonderful love will I sing.

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

My praise to the hills shall ascend,

I'll join with the glorified millions

A chorus that shall never end.

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

At noonday, at eve, and at night;

I'll tell of Thy goodness, forever,

My Hope, my Salvation, my Light.

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

My praise to the hills shall ascend,

I'll join with the glorified millions

A chorus that shall never end.
