|  | 1. | Begin the day with God! | 
|  |  | He is thy Sun and Day! | 
|  |  | His is the radiance of thy dawn; | 
|  |  | To Him address thy lay. | 
|  | 2. | Sing a new song at morn! | 
|  |  | Join the glad woods and hills; | 
|  |  | Join the fresh winds and seas and plains, | 
|  |  | Join the bright flowers and rills. | 
|  | 3. | Sing thy first song to God! | 
|  |  | Not to thy fellow men; | 
|  |  | Not to the creatures of His hand, | 
|  |  | But to the glorious One. | 
|  | 4. | Take thy first walk with God! | 
|  |  | Let Him go forth with thee; | 
|  |  | By stream, or sea, or mountain path, | 
|  |  | Seek still His company. | 
|  | 5. | Thy first transaction be | 
|  |  | With God Himself above; | 
|  |  | So shall thy business prosper well | 
|  |  | And all the day be love. |
