Author: Jennie Garnett Hymnal: Living Hymns #38 (1890) First Line: When the morning breaks in splendor Refrain First Line: Oh, the love, precious love Lyrics: 1 When the morning breaks in splendor
O'er the valley, warm and tender,
Joyful praise our hearts would render
To our Father God on high;
Thro' the night, when all were sleeping,
We were guarded safe beneath his care,
When the stars their watch were keeping
In the calm, blue sky so fair.
Chorus:
Oh, the love, precious love,
He bestows from above!
Let our souls and all within us
Praise the Lord for all his love.
2 When the noontide hour is beaming,
Happy songs each bird is singing,
May our hearts in measure ringing,
Praise our Father God on high;
With a gentle hand he leads us,
He is still our patient, loving Friend,
And the hand we now are holding
Will protect us to the end. [Chorus]
3 When the evening winds are sighing,
And the light is softly dying,
Then, to nature's voice replying
Praise our Father on high;
He has crowned our life with mercy,
He has scattered blessings on our way,
And we hope to see and praise him
In the realms of endless day. [Chorus]
