Joyful Praise

Author: Jennie Garnett Hymnal: Living Hymns #38 (1890) First Line: When the morning breaks in splendor Refrain First Line: Oh, the love, precious love Lyrics: 1 When the morning breaks in splendor O'er the valley, warm and tender, Joyful praise our hearts would render To our Father God on high; Thro' the night, when all were sleeping, We were guarded safe beneath his care, When the stars their watch were keeping In the calm, blue sky so fair. Chorus: Oh, the love, precious love, He bestows from above! Let our souls and all within us Praise the Lord for all his love. 2 When the noontide hour is beaming, Happy songs each bird is singing, May our hearts in measure ringing, Praise our Father God on high; With a gentle hand he leads us, He is still our patient, loving Friend, And the hand we now are holding Will protect us to the end. [Chorus] 3 When the evening winds are sighing, And the light is softly dying, Then, to nature's voice replying Praise our Father on high; He has crowned our life with mercy, He has scattered blessings on our way, And we hope to see and praise him In the realms of endless day. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the morning breaks in splendor]
