Behold the sun adorns the sky,
And darts his cheering rays on high!
From east to west, in glorious march,
He gilds the wide expansive arch.
The warbling larks in triumph mount,
And all the scenes of morn recount;
While sounding groves and vallies ring
With praise to heaven's eternal King.
Begin, my soul, thy morning song;
Let thankfulness inspire thy tongue!
The kindness of thy God proclaim,
And tell the wonders of his name.
Sing how his hand thy life defends,
And for thy guard his angel sends:
In grateful praise his name adore,
When fleeting days shall, be no more.
Yes, O my God, thy glorious name,
My soul shall through the day proclaim;
I'll bear thy kindness on my heart,
While ev'ry pow’r performs its part.
