A MORNING HYMN.

a, a it is the break of day: Blithely are the birdies singing, From their little nests up-springing :

A, a, a: it is the break of day.

e, e: how thankful I should be! Round my bed, as I lay sleeping, Holy angels guard were keeping : E, e, e: how thankful I should be!

[blocks in formation]

See, his pleasant light comes stealing

Thro' the lattice o'er the ceiling:

I, i, i the Sun is in the sky.

o, o: how soft the breezes blow! All the pretty flowers awaking

Dew from little leaves are shaking: O, o, o: how soft the breezes blow!

u, u: our days are short and few: May each sun to rest a-going

Find me wiser, better growing : U, u, u: our days are short and few.
