The Maanita Song

How beautiful is the morning

As we come to waken you
With Gods early morning blessing
With pleasure we sing to you.

On the day you were born
All the flowers came into bloom
And at the baptismal font
All the saints break forth in song

Refrain:
The dawn is now appearing
The rays of the sun break through
A rise early this bright morning
As we sing Hello to you.

How I wish I were St. Peter ( If Man ) ( St. Catherine if
woman )
How I wish I were St. John ( St. Ann )
As we bring this salutation
In the very early morn. ( Refrain )


With a boquet of carnation
We have came to sing our song
To make your day full of color
So that you may carry on. ( Refrain )

From all the stars in the heaven
How I wish I would get you two
One, to tell you good morning
And the other to bid you adieu! ( Refrain )
