A Morning Song
Night’s darkness soon is past and gone,
And daylight spreads out so widely,
Sunlight now gleams over field and pond,
The birds are all singing so blithely:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
2.
May God be praised for eternity,
Through this night he has safely brought us,
May his own peace us a beacon be
’Gainst dangers that elsewise had sought us:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
3.
On Easter morning that much-blessèd day,
Our Lord from the dead is arisen,
To our great comfort in every way,
He freed us thereby from death’s prison:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
4.
In six days did God make Heaven and Earth
And all fellow creatures here dwelling,
All by the power of his mighty word,
As Holy Scripture is telling:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
5.
Upon the first day he caused light to shine,
And suffuse the whole world with brightness,
Where both night and day would gleam so fine,
And gladden our hearts with their lightness,
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
6.
Upon the next day he created the sky
And the firmament of high heaven,
Oh Lord, thereto may our prayers soar high
So our hearts Thou always willst leaven,
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
7.
Upon the third day he the earth did prepare,
With trees and plants beyond telling,
So she her bounty with us might share
And we here might make our dwelling:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
8.
Upon the fourth day for our delight
The heavens he started adorning,
With sun and moon, and with stars so bright,
To gladden our hearts night and morning:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
9.
Upon the fifth day it was God’s kind will
To add birds and fish to creation,
So that they the sea and the sky might fill
To provide for man’s needs and elation:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
10.
The sixth day was also the final day,
We call it God’s Day of Creation,
All beasts here on earth now came to stay,
With mankind as God’s consummation:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
11.
Help us, oh Jesus our Saviour dear,
This day and throughout our lives’ journey,
From snares of the Devil steer us well clear,
So we can fittingly serve Thee:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us.
12.
So that when this day shall disappear,
And night from its light us will sever,
We can still praise Thee, Oh Lord most dear,
Both here in this life and for ever:
God happiness grant us and ample means,
His mercy’s light may he send us, Amen.
