Author: Vincent B. Silliman, 1894-1979 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #42 (1993) Meter: 6.6.9.6.6.8 Lyrics: 1 Morning, so fair to see,
night, veiled in mystery —
glorious the earth and resplendent skies!
Pilgrims, we march along,
singing our joyous song,
as through an earthly paradise.
2 Tall are the verdant trees;
deep are the flashing seas;
glorious each wonder the seasons bring.
Brighter is faith’s surmise,
shining in pilgrim eyes,
from which our waking spirits spring.
3 Age after age we rise,
‘neath the eternal skies,
into the light from the shadowed past:
still shall our pilgrim song,
buoyant and brave and strong,
resound while life and mountains last. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Morning; Faith; Nature and the Countryside Languages: English Tune Title: SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU
