I. Beloved, It Is Morn | | By Emily H. Hickey (1845–1924) |
| | | BELOVED, it is morn! | |
| A redder berry on the thorn, | |
| A deeper yellow on the corn, | |
| For this good day new-born. | |
| Pray, Sweet, for me | 5 |
| That I may be | |
| Faithful to God and thee. | |
| |
| Beloved, it is day! | |
| And lovers work, as children play, | |
| With heart and brain untir’d alway: | 10 |
| Dear love, look up and pray. | |
| Pray, Sweet, for me | |
| That I may be | |
| Faithful to God and thee. | |
| |
| Beloved, it is night! | 15 |
| Thy heart and mine are full of light, | |
| Thy spirit shineth clear and white, | |
| God keep thee in His sight! | |
| Pray, Sweet, for me | |
| That I may be | 20 |
| Faithful to God and thee. | | | | |
