The Song of the Morning

Joy is the song of the morn­ing;

Sweet with the frag­rance of flow­ers;

Streameth the dawn-light of glad­ness

Down on this fair land of ours.

Joy! joy! Set the ech­oes ring­ing;

Joy! joy! Hap­py hearts are sing­ing

Joy! for He lives again no more to die!

Joy for the Ris­en One reign­ing on high!

Joy an­gels chant in His heav­en

Laying their crowns at His feet;

Blessing and hon­or

and glo­ry

Be to our king

they re­peat.

Joy

with our heart’s love out­pour­ing

Upward we look to the skies

Praying that Je­sus

our Sav­ior

Now in our souls may arise.
