Key of the morning, make way the new dawn; unlock the future; open my prayers. You are so faithful; I will stay near you, casting upon you all of my cares. Door to the daylight, all day I praise you, through work and leisure; all is your time. Welcome around me gentle forgiveness, taking your purpose; making it mine. Bolt of the evening, you are my shelter, by your protection quiet my fears. Safeguard your loved one; keep and defend me as you have kept me all through the years.
