A Moment in the Morning

A moment in the morning, ere the cares of day begin, Ere the heart's wide door is open for the world to enter in; Ah, then, alone with Jesus, in the silence of the morn, In heavenly, sweet communion let your duty day be born. In the quietude that blesses with a prelude of repose, Let your soul be soothed and softened, as the dew revives the rose.

A moment in the morning take your Bible in your hand, And catch a glimpse of glory from the peaceful promised land; It will linger still before you when you seek the busy mart, And, like flowers of hope, will blossom into beauty in your heart; The precious words, like jewels, will glisten all the day With a rare, effulgent glory that will brighten all the way.
