HYMN.
Reading edition
THE WORDS AND MUSIC COMPOSED FOR MERRY’S MUSEUM.
When morning pours its golden rays, O’er hill and vale, o’er earth and sea, My heart unbidden swells in praise, Father of light and life, to Thee! When night, from heaven, steals darkly down, And throws its robe o’er lawn and lea, My saddened spirit seeks thy throne, And bows in worship still to Thee! If tempests sweep the angry sky, Or sunbeams smile on flower and tree, If joy or sorrow brim the eye— Father in Heaven, I turn to Thee!
