Beautiful Morn


Beautiful Morn

Sun sifts sparsely through the trees,
Bright and brisk the autumn breeze,
Lifts her skirted leaves to show,
Tops and bottoms, dancing so.

Grass still growing dewy light,
Glassy beads on each blade bright,
Darkest hue of evergreen,
It lifts my soul, this autumn scene.

Raise my eyes to skies so blue,
Rare to see a cloud or two,
As the birds soar, flying by,
This moment filled with silent sigh!

In awesome wonder here I stand,
Designed by You, creation grand,
I lift my voice, to God I praise,
All thankfulness to You I raise!
