Hymn 423 – THE time of morning and of joy | C&S English Hymnary

1. THE time of morning and of joy In thine stock do all lay My comfort from Thine hand doth come In Thine command forth go. 2. If Thou will from me to retrieve I shall never be crossed When all yet I nay doth possess All but Thine possession. 3. Nay not ever will I blaspheme If the earth fly away Eternal joy I shall all seek From Thee and Thee alone. 4. The earth and its fullness of nought All but bitter savour Much as I would the flower to reap But Thorn all that I met. 5. Perfect joy nay is here to find Honey ladden with gall Amidst all changing tides of life Be Thou my all in all AMEN
