Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Brightly, O Father, when morning is breaking 
Brightly, O Father, when morning is breaking, shed o’er thy children the beams of thy love, scattering the night-clouds of sorrow and darkness, lifting our spirits to glories above. 
Teach us, O Father, to work in the daytime, soon, O, too soon, is the night coming on; help us, while earnestly, actively striving, to finish our work ere the daylight be gone. 
Bravely, O Father, in life's daily conflict, help us, thy soldiers, to combat each ill crushing each foe that impedes our march onwards, each impulse within us opposed to thy will. 
Help us, O Father, in watching or waiting, teach us in all things, thy way is the best; guide us and keep us in devious pathways, lead us at last to the mansions of rest. 
Calmly, O Father, as life's day is closing, bring us in peace to thy glorious home, where trouble, and conflict, and labor, and watching, darkness, and sorrow, and sin cannot come. 
R. Minton Taylor
