56. The Morning of Life

1 The morning of life is the very best time
To march with the army that Zion-ward climb,
To God give your heart, and at once be enroll’d
A soldier of Jesus, true, loving, and bold.

Chorus:
We come, blessed Saviour, while morning is bright,
While dew’s on the flowers, and rose the light,
While sweet bells of gladness so hopefully chime,
The morning of life is the very best time.

2 The morning of life is the very best time
To ground well the faith for a life that’s sublime,
A life that is hidden with Jesus above,
A life that is crown’d with the fulness of love. [Chorus]

3 The morning of life is the very best time
To set out for yonder bright heavenly clime;
No sorrow will darken its mansions so fair,
The upright in heart in that glory will share. [Chorus]
