Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Go when the morning shineth, Go when the noon is bright, Go when the eve declineth, Go in the hush of night; Go with pure minds and feelings, Send earthly thoughts away, And in thy chamber kneeling. Do thou in secret pray. Go when the morning shineth, Go at the close of day, And in thy chamber kneeling, Do thou in secret pray.
2. Pray then for all who love thee, All who are loved by thee; Pray, too, for those who hate thee, If any such there be; Then for thyself in meekness, God’s blessings humbly claim, And join with each petition Thy great redeemer’s name. Pray then to God sincerely, Pray for his holy light; Rich blessings he will grant thee, If only asked aright.
