Lauds by George Dyson Lyrics
Ye that have spent the silent night
In sleep and quiet rest
And joy to see the (cheerful) light
That riseth in the east;
Now lift your hearts, your voices raise
Your morning tribute bring
And pay a grateful song of praise
To Heaven's Almighty King
For as this gloomy night did last
But for a little space;
As heavenly day, (now night is past)
Doth show his pleasant face;
So let us hope, when faith and love
Their work on earth have done
God's blessed face to see above
Heaven's better, brighter sun
In sleep and quiet rest
And joy to see the (cheerful) light
That riseth in the east;
Now lift your hearts, your voices raise
Your morning tribute bring
And pay a grateful song of praise
To Heaven's Almighty King
For as this gloomy night did last
But for a little space;
As heavenly day, (now night is past)
Doth show his pleasant face;
So let us hope, when faith and love
Their work on earth have done
God's blessed face to see above
Heaven's better, brighter sun
