Beautiful morn­ing! Day of hope,
Dawn of a bet­ter life;
Now in thy peace­ful hours we rest,
Far from earth’s noise and strife.

Refrain

Morning of re­sur­rect­ion joy,
Day when the Sav­ior rose,
Singing shall greet thy op­en­ing hour,
Singing shall mark thy close.

Beautiful morn­ing! All the week
Waiteth thy wel­come light,
Since thy first dawn­ing, calm and clear,
Out of the dark­est night.

Refrain

Beautiful morn­ing! Grief and pain,
Weeping be­fore the tomb,
Fly at thy dawn­ing, Je­sus rose,
Jesus dis­pelled the gloom.
