Sweetly The Holy Hymn
Breaks on the morning air:
Before the world with smoke is dim
We meet to offer prayer.
While flowers are wet with dews,
Dew of our souls, descend;
Ere yet the sun the day renews,
O, Lord, Thy Spirit send!
Upon the battlefield,
Before the fight begins,
We seek, O Lord, Thy sheltering shield,
To guard us from our sins.
O hear us, then, for we,
Are very weak and frail;
We make the Saviour’s name our plea,
And surely must prevail.
