His Worthy Praise ‎#182

182. The Song of the Morning

1 "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.

Refrain:
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!

2 "Joy" angels chant in His heaven,
Laying their crowns at His feet;
"Blessing and honor, and glory
Be to our king," they repeat. [Refrain]

3 Joy, with our heart’s love outpouring,
Upward we look to the skies,
Praying that Jesus, our Savior,
Now in our souls may arise. [Refrain]
