Representative Text

1 As the sun shines out in the morning
And makes the whole world bright,
Let the Savior rise in your life, my friend
And scatter the gloom of night.

Refrain:
The sunrise life is the king friend,
To make this old world bright;
It scatters the darkness, brings the day,
And never fears the night.

2 As the birds begin in the morning
To sing their Maker’s praise,
With a prayer we should begin the day,
And songs to Jehovah raise. [Refrain]

3 In your sadness, turn your eyes Eastward;
Behold the golden dawn!
By the blessed Day-Spring, from darkened souls
All shadows may be withdrawn. [Refrain]

4 In the sunrise life there is comfort,
Poor heart by sorrow torn,
For the friend who bids you goodby tonight
Will meet you again at morn. [Refrain]
