lyrics

Hail smiling morn, smiling morn
That tips the hills with gold, (quiet) that tips the hills with gold
Whose rosy fingers ope the gates of day
Ope the gates, the gates of day
Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!

Who the gay face of nature doth unfold (×2)
At whose bright presence darkness flies away
Flies away, flies away flies away, flies away
Darkness flies away, darkness flies away
At whose bright presence, darkness flies away,
Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
