O, let us exalt our dear Lord and proclaim,
In songs of true gratitude, praise to His name!
As songs of the angels in sweetest accord,
Our thanks and our praises shall rise to the Lord.

Lyrics
O, how lovely is the morning,
When it is begun with God;
Joy and thanks our hearts adorning,
As behooves a child of God,
Waking after night so fair
In the Maker's gentle care,
Rising without grief or sorrow
To a new and joyful morrow.

Let our eyes be raised to heaven
Where the sun is shining bright,
And on hill and dale and meadow
Is dispensing life and light;
But far more than sun in space
Beams the Saviour's kindly face;
Truth and kindness, peaceful nearness
Shine out in eternal clearness.

Even as the springtime flowers
Grow beneath the sun's warm rays,
So the Lord by His own powers
Makes us garlands for His praise;
He invites most lovingly;
Little children, come to Me!
All should truly know Him ever,
Call Him Brother, Lord, and Saviour!

This day also He will guide us,
In our work His help provide,
And on wisdom's ways He'll lead us,
Standing ever by our side,
That on this whole blessed day
No mishap can come our way;
And that under His rich blessing
Night will find us sweetly resting.

Through His grace made sweet and easy,
We'll His teachings understand,
When He on the path of duty
Gently leads us by the hand.
O, how blest the child that may
In His grace begin the day,
Whose desire and wish is wholly
By His love to be made holy.

Come then, Lord of life eternal,
Step into our midst, we pray;
Help that we may not be merely
Hearers of Thy Word today.
To our teacher, O, be near;
Bless the children gathered here;
May we thrive in fullest measure,
And Thy heart in us find pleasure!
