Morning Hymn


sI,rr rs5Rk BE IHET.n The-Eternal spoke,
And from the abyss where darkness rode
The esrliesidawn OF nature broke,
AID light around creation fow'd-
The. elsd earth smiled To see the day,
The frst born day came elushing m;
The youns day. smiled to shed It's ray
Uoen a world untouched BY sin.
~fe, ,bsre be light" o'er heaven and earth,
The COP who first the day y-Oeasn poared,
Uttered again his cat forth,
And shed tie gospels light abroad
And like the dawn. its cheeIing rays
on rich and poor were meant 10 iaii,
fnepiiing their Redeemer's praise,
In Ios.ly cot ami lordiy hall.
Then come. when in the orient trst -.
flushes the signal light tor prayer;
Come with rhe EARLIEST beam that burst
From Cops bright throne oi glory there.
Come kneel 10 Him who through the night
Hath watched thy sieeping soui,
To Him whose mercies, ike Iis light,
Are shed abroad IRON pole to pole.
