Classic Poem

Now I arise, impow'r'd by Thee,
The glorious Sun to face;
O clothe me with humility,
Adorn me with thy grace.

All evil of the day forefend,
Prevent the Tempter's snare;
Thine Angel on my steps attend,
And give me fruit to pray'r.

O make me useful as I go
My pilgrimage along;
And sweetly sooth this vale of woe
By charity and song.

Let me from Christ obedience learn,
To Christ obedience pay;
Each parent duteous love return,
And consecrate the day.
