Author: Mattie Pearson Smith Hymnal: Good Will #48 (1882) First Line: In the morning, early Lyrics: 1 In the morning, early
When the dew is bright,
When the flow’rs are smiling
In the blessed light;
When the happy songbirds,
Thankful homage pay;
To the God who keep you,
Little children, pray.
2 In the fervid noontide,
When the sun is high;
When the flocks are seeking,
Where the shadows lie;
When the brooks are running
Dreamingly away;
Then to God who sees you,
Little children, pray.
3 In the purple twilight,
When the day is done,
And behind the hilltops,
Sinketh low the sun;
When you pause to rest you,
Weary of your play;
At that pleasant season,
Little children, pray.
4 When the night is setting
O’er the trackless world,
And the darksome shadows
All the earth enfold;
When the winds are sighing
‘Neath the starry way,
Unto God, who keeps you,
Little children, pray.
5 Yes, in times of trouble,
Or in sunny hours;
Whether in the desert,
Or amid the flow’rs,
In the midnight dreary,
Or in times of play;
Unto God, who keeps you,
Little children, pray.
