Ye that have spent the silent night
In sleep and quiet rest,
And joy to see the (cheerful) light
That riseth in the east;
Now lift your hearts, your voices raise,
Your morning tribute bring,
And pay a grateful song of praise
To Heaven's Almighty King

For as this gloomy night did last
But for a little space;
As heavenly day, (now night is past),
Doth show his pleasant face;
So let us hope, when faith and love
Their work on earth have done,
God's blessed face to see above,
Heaven's better, brighter sun.
