59. Beautiful morning

1 Casting aside the mantle of night,
Earth in her beauty gladdens the sight;
Dewdrops, like gems, the landscape adorn,
Hail to thy brightness, beautiful morn,
Hail to thy brightness, beautiful morn.

Refrain:
Beautiful morning, we welcome thee,
Welcome thee, we welcome thee;
Beautiful morning, we welcome thee,
We welcome, welcome thee!

2 Streamlet and river, valley and plain,
Robed in the sunlight, charm us again;
Music resounds from garden and grove,
Hymns of the morning, wafted above. [Refrain]

3 Now in life’s morning do all you can;
Cheerfully toil, and hopefully plan;
Grace with good deeds your beautiful morn,
Joy shall be yours, tho' weary and worn. [Refrain]
