Author: George Rogers Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let songs of praise arise
To God at early morn,
When golden beams from eastern skies
The mountain peaks adorn.
2 When plumaged songsters raise
Their varied notes of joy,
When blossoms breathe their fragrant praise,
Let praise our tongues employ.
3 At noontide, too, O Lord,
Thy praise shall be our theme,
When floods of burning light are poured
O’er mountain, vale and stream.
4 At evening’s starlit hour,
Still be His praise expressed,
When countless stars of light,
His power and watchful love attest. Used With Tune: SCHUMANN Text Sources: Universalist Hymn Book (Cincinnati: R. P. Brooks, 1843)
