Lyrics from Relief Society Song Book, 1919, no. 66

1. The rising sun has chased the night,
And brought again the cheering light;
This mercy multiplies our days,
And calls us to renew our praise.

2. We laid us down and sweetly slept;
The Lord our souls in safety kept;
We wake, His goodness to proclaim,
And sing new honors to His name.

3. We know not what His will ordains,
But ’tis our joy that Jesus reigns;
Though dangers, snares and foes abound,
Eternal arms will us surround.
