1 In the morning of life we are singing,
Our hearts to the Lord we are bringing;
Now the bells of the gospel are ringing,
Proclaiming redeeming love;
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
In the morning of life we’re singing.

Refrain:
Come with rejoicing, gratitude voicing,
Praising our Saviour, boundless in grace;
Come with rejoicing, gratitude voicing,
Come! In the morning of life, we will seek His face.

2 In the morning of life we are telling
Of goodness and mercy excelling;
Blessed story, the darkness dispelling,
Proclaiming redeeming love;
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
In the morning of life we’re singing. [Refrain]

3 In the morning of life we would render
A service of joy, sweet and tender;
Lighting souls with the heavenly splendor,
Proclaiming redeeming love;
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
In the morning of life we’re singing. [Refrain]
