Shifting shadows round my head
As I lie in my bed
The morning sun, rising red
How beautiful the morn!
Death it comes all too fast
Makes life precious; make it last
Sweet sadness fade to past
How beautiful the mourn!
New life comes, when old’s gone
Like a babe, like a fawn,
Baby child’s life’s first dawn
How beautiful their morn!
These things I think on in my bed,
With shifting shadows round my head
God’s morning sun, so bright red
How beautiful the morn!
