1. INOUR MORNING PRAYERS Our voice shalt you now hear in the morning, in the morning will we direct our prayer unto you, and will look up; for our souls wait for you, O Lord, more than they that watch for the morning, yea more than they that watch for the morning; and we will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning; for you have been our defense. Psalm
523. Psalm 130:6. Psalm 59:16.
It is you (O God) that have commanded the morning and caused the dayspring to know its place, that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and it is turned as clay to the seal. Job 38:12, 13, 14.
The day is yours; the night also is yours; you have prepared the light and the sun. Psalm 74:16.
With the light of the morning let the dayspring from on high visit us, to give us the knowledge of salvation, through the tender mercy of our God; And let the Sun of righteousness arise upon our souls with healing under his wings; and our path be as the shining light, which shines more and more to the perfect day.

We thank you that we have laid us down, have had where to lay our head, and have not been wandering in deserts and mountains, in dens, and caves of the earth: And that we have slept, and have not been full of tossing to and fro till the dawning of the day, that wearisome nights are not appointed to us, and we are not saying at our lying down, When shall we arise, and the night be gone? But our bed comforts us, and our couch eases our complaint: You give us sleep as you give it to your beloved. And that having laid us down and slept, we have waked again; You have lightened our eyes, so that we have not slept the sleep of death. Matthew 8:20. Hebrews

You have preserved us from the pestilence that walketh in darkness, and from the malice of the rulers of the darkness of this world, the roaring lion that goes about seeking to devour: He that keeps Israel, and neither slumbers nor sleeps, has kept us, and so we have been safe. Psalm 91:6. Ephesians 6:12. 1 Peter 5:8. Psalm 121.4.
Butwe cannot saywith your servant David, that when we awake, we are still with you, or that our eyes have prevented the night watches, that we might meditate in your word; but vain thoughts still lodge within us. O pardon our sins, and cause us to hear your lovingkindness this morning, for in you do we trust; cause us to know the way wherein we should walk, for we lift up our souls unto you:
Teach us to do your will, for you are our God, your spirit is good, lead us into the way and land of uprightness. Psalm 139:18. Psalm
119:148. Jeremiah 4:14. Psalm 143-8, 10.
