LyicsSoon as breaks the dawn of day,
Soars the lark in songs away,
Up, until his wings of lightness
Bathe in morn's celestial brightness;
So, in grateful notes of joy,
Let our souls their powers employ,
Upward rise from toil and sadness
To a world of joy and gladness.
Blessed by thy name for ever,
Thou of life the guard and giver;
Thou didst guard thy children sleeping,
Ever safe while in thy keeping.
We have seen thy wondrous might
Thro' the shadows of the night;
Thou, who slumb'rest not nor sleepest,
Blest are they thou kindly keepest.
