When the morning breaks bright and fair,
And the sky its blue robe doth wear,
Then my voice will I lift in prayer,
Seeking God’s tender love and care.
Refrain
Oh, that will be glorious!
Oh, that will be glorious!
Living for Jesus thro’ all my days,
And then in Heaven His name to praise.
Every moment my soul would sing
Praise to Jesus, my Lord and king;
I would make the glad chorus ring,
For His love gives me everything.
Refrain
God will help me each day to do
All things noble and good and true;
If I love Him my whole life through,
He will keep till earth fades from view.
