The Morning Hour
| Alone with God, in quiet peace, |
| From earthly cares I find |
| release; New strength i borrow |
| for each day as there with god, |
| I stop to pray. |
| Alone with God, my sins confess'd |
| He speaks of mercy, I am blest. |
| I know the kiss of pardon free, |
| I talk to God, He talks to me. |
| Alone with God, my vision clears |
| I see my guilt, the wasted years |
| I plead for grace to walk His way |
| And live for Him, from day to day. |
| Alone with God no sin between |
| His lovely face so plainly seen; |
| My guilt all gone, my heart at rest |
| With Christ, my Lord, my soul is blest. |
| Lord, keep my life alone for Thee; |
| From sin and self, Lord set me free. |
| And when no more this earth I trod. |
| They'll say, 'He walked alone with God.' |

| This Too, Will Pass Away |
| If I can endure for this minute |
| Whatever is happening to me, |
| No matter how heavy my heart is |
| Or how dark the moment may be . . . |
| If I can remain calm and quiet |
| With all the world crashing about me, |
| Secure in the knowledge God loves me |
| When everyone else seems to doubt me . . |
| If I can but keep on believing |
| What I know in my heart to be true, |
| That darkness will fade with the morning |
| And that 'this will pass away, too!' |
| Then nothing in life can defeat me |
| For as long as this knowledge remains |
| I can suffer whatever is happening |
| For I know God will break all the chains |
| That are binding me tight in 'the darkness' |
| And are trying to fill me with fear . . . |
| For there is "no night without dawning" |
| And I know that "my morning" is near. |
