Lyics

To thee, in youth's bright morning,

Father of all we pray;

While thought and fancy dawning

Lead on the rising day;

To thee, in life's last even,

We'll tune our feebler breath;

Hear all our sins forgiven,

And softly sleep in death.



When from death's sleep we waken,

No fears shall us surprise;

All earthly things forsaken,

What joys shall meet our eyes!

With raptures there unceasing,

Forever we'll rejoice;

And praises never ceasing,

Shall wake each tuneful voice.
