MORNING SO FAIR TO SEE

Morning, so fair to see,

Night veiled in mystery—

Glorious the earth and resplendent skies!

Great God, we march along,

Singing our pilgrim song,

As through an earthly paradise.

Fair are the verdant trees,

Fair are the flashing seas,

Fair is each wonder the seasons bring.

Fairer is faith’s surmise

Shining in pilgrim eyes:

Fairer the comradeship we sing.

Age after age we rise,

‘Neath the eternal skies,

Into the light from the shadowed past:

Still shall our pilgrim song,

Buoyant and brave and strong

Resound while we and mountains last.
