When the Earth Is Bright with Dew

lyricist: Carol Bruening, 1899
Composer: R. E. DeReef

When the earth is bright with dew

Thank the Lord for mer­cies new.

Bless Him for the sun that’s ris’n

For the flush of ear­ly dawn

Thank Him that the night is past;

Praise Him all the beau­te­ous morn.

When the sun is ris­en high

Bathing gold­en all the sky;

Bless the Lord the morn is o’er

Safe its hours have gone so soon;

Nature now is wide awake;

Praise Him for the glo­ri­ous noon.

When the stars peep out at last

Thank the Lord the day is past.

Bless Him for its va­ried scenes

For its many bless­ings bright;

Thank Him that we’re near­er Heav’n

Praise Him

bless Him all the night.
