LyicsTHE morning's come, the sun in east,
Now gilds the rising day;
The lark forsakes her dewy nest;
Arise, my soul, and pray.
When faith presents the Saviour's death,
And whispers he is mine,
Sweetly my rising hours advance,
And peaceful they decline.
When such my views, the radiant sun
Sheds a more sprightly ray;
All nature smiles, each object charms,
I'll sing my cares away.
Make haste, my days, and reach the goal,
And bring me home to rest,
To the dear centre of my soul,
My God, my Saviour's breast.
