Morning Song

When the morning bells are ringing, To the chapel we repair

Representative Text

1 When the morning bells are ringing,
To the chapel we repair,
Where our voices join in singing,
And our hearts unite in prayer.
Thanks to God, for his provision,
While in helpless sleep we lay;
When in darkness, his direction
Brought us to this holy day.

2 In our childhood's morning, Father,
While the world is bright and fair,
We would in thy temple gather,
Find our truest pleasure there.
Fain would we, upon thy altar,
Lay the hearts that should be thine;
But our feeble footsteps falter--
Guide us by thy light divine.
