Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden, sprung in completeness where God’s feet pass. 3 Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning born of the one light Eden saw play! Praise with elation, praise every morning, God’s recreation of the new day!

The Morning Hangs a Signal

Author: William Channing Gannett, 1840-1923 Hymnal: SLT1993 #40 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The morning hangs a signal upon the mountain crest, while all the sleeping valleys in silent darkness rest. From peak to peak it flashes, it laughs along the sky, till glory of the sunlight on all the land shall lie. 2 Above the generations the lonely prophets rise, while truth flares as the daystar within their glowing eyes; and other eyes, beholding, are kindled from that flame; and dawn becomes the morning, when prophets love proclaim. 3 The soul has lifted moments, above the drift of days, when life’s great meaning breaketh in sunrise on our ways. Behold the radiant token of faith above all fear; night shall release its splendor that morning shall appear.
