1 Casting aside the mantle of night,
Earth in her beauty gladdens the sight;
Dewdrops, like gems, the landscape adorn,
Hail to thy brightness, beautiful morn,
Hail to thy brightness, beautiful morn.

Refrain:
Beautiful morning, we welcome thee,
Welcome thee, we welcome thee;
Beautiful morning, we welcome thee,
We welcome, welcome thee!

2 Streamlet and river, valley and plain,
Robed in the sunlight, charm us again;
Music resounds from garden and grove,
Hymns of the morning, wafted above. [Refrain]

3 Now in life’s morning do all you can;
Cheerfully toil, and hopefully plan;
Grace with good deeds your beautiful morn,
Joy shall be yours, tho' weary and worn. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
