LyicsWhen the orb of morn enlightens
Hill and mountain, mead and dell;
When the dim horizon brightens,
And the serried clouds dispel;
And the sunflower eastward bending,
Its fidelity to prove;
Be thy gratitude ascending
Unto Him whose name is love.
When the vesper star is beaming
In the coronet of even;
And the lake and river gleaming
With the ruddy hues of heaven;
When a thousand notes are blending,
In the forest and the grove;
By thy gratitude ascending
Unto Him whose name is love.
When the stars appear in millions
In the portals of the west,
Bright bespangling the pavilions
Where the blessed are at rest;
When the milky way is glowing
In the cope of heaven above,
Let thy gratitude be flowing
Unto Him whose name is love.
