How Beautiful Is the Morning

In the very early dawn

How beautiful is the morning From all the stars in the heaven
As we come to waken you; How I wish i could get you two
With God's early blessing, One to tell you Good Morning
With pleasure we sing to you.

And another to bid you adieu

On the day that you were born The dawn is now appearing
The flowers came into bloom The rays of the sun breakthrough
And at the baptismal font, Rise early this bright morning
All the saints brought forth their song. As we sing Happy Birthday to you

The dawn is now appearing;

The rays of the sun break through.
Rise early this bright morning
as we sing "Happy Birthday" to you

How I wish I were St. Peter

How I wish I were St. John
As we bring this salutation
In the very early dawn.

From all the stars in the heavens

How I wish I could get you two - -
One to tell you good morning
And another to bid you adieu.

With a bouquet of carnations,

We have come to sing our song,
And make your day full of colour
So that you may carry on.

How beautiful is the morning

As we come to waken you;
With God's early blessing,
With pleasure we sing to you.
On the day that you were born
The flowers came into bloom
And at the baptismal font,
All the saints brought forth their song.
The dawn is now appearing
The rays of the sun break through
Rise early this bright morning

As we sing Happy Birthday to you

How I wish I were St. Peter
How I wish I were St. John
As we bring the salutation
