Accompaniment from a player piano roll:
Lyrics
- Beloved, it is morn
A redder berry on the thorn
A deeper yellow on the corn
For this good day new-born
Pray, Sweet, for me
That I may be
Faithful to God and thee - Beloved, it is day
And lovers work, as children play
With heart and brain untir’d alway
Dear love, look up and pray
Pray, Sweet, for me
That I may be
Faithful to God and thee - Beloved, it is night
Thy heart and mine are full of light
Thy spirit shineth clear and white
God keep thee in His sight
Pray, Sweet, for me
That I may be
Faithful to God and thee
