A moment in the morning take your Bible in your hand, And catch a glimpse of glory from the peaceful promised land; ’Twill linger still before you when you seek the busy mart, And, like the flow’rs of hope, will bloom in beauty in your heart.
Refrain: A moment in the morning take your Bible in your hand; And catch a glimpse of glory from the peaceful promised land.
A moment in the morning ere the cares of day begin, Before the heart’s door opens for the world to enter in; Ah, then, alone with Jesus, in the silence of the morn, In heav’nly, sweet communion, let your duty day be born.
In quietude that blesses with a prelude of repose, You may be soothed and softened, as the dew revives the rose; The precious words, like jewels bright, will glisten all the day, With rare effulgent glory that will brighten all the way.
