When the pearl and rose of dawnlight
Softly steal across the sky,
Ushering in the day's bright glory,
Let us know that God is nigh.
May we look to Him for wisdom
All our happy way to guide,
Keeping us through sunlit hours
Ever closely by His side.
As the streams of golden sunshine
Pour their wealth o'er hill and field,
May they be to us the symbol
Of our Father's love revealed.
When the blossoms fold their petals
And the stars begin to shine,
We may rest secure and happy
In the arms of Love divine.
With God's sweet and tender presence
Lighting all our earthly way,
We are led in close communion
To His everlasting day.
