Each Day with You

At break of day when darkness flees,
And grass is wet with dew,
My heart awaking looks above
And I resort to You.

The freshness of the newborn day,
With joyful singing bird–
They turn my thoughts to You my Lord
And Your delightful Word.

The radiant dawn, with streams of light
That flood the eastern sky,
Brings promise of a lovely day
Which You will beautify.

While others sleep and dread to rise,
I seek Your blessed face
To start the day with You, O Lord,
At our own trysting-place.

Each day is given to Your own
That we might toil and trust;
That we would wisely use each hour
That You to us entrust.

So through the day I look to You
Through Jesus, Your own Son,
And walk with You along the way
‘Til setting of the sun.

What joy I feel, what peace is mine,
As I commune with You;
Your love is like a lovely flower
With fragrance ever new.

When evening comes at setting sun
And shadows lengthen long,
My great delight is You, dear Lord–
To You I raise my song!

(Richard Hollerman)
