Lyrics: 1 When the morn is breaking, Worldly thoughts forsaking, Hearts with love are waking-- 'Tis the Sabbath Day! Songs of joy ascending, Happy voices blending, Sing of love unending On this holy day! Chorus: O day of rest, of joy and peace! An earthly token of heaven's best! With joy we hail thy welcome dawning, O blessed day of rest! 2 Joyful hearts are singing, Joyous bells are ringing, Richest blessings bringing, On this holy day! Christ to us is dearer, Heaven still is nearer, Faith is growing clearer On this holy day! [Chorus] 3 Strength for our tomorrow, Comfort for our sorrow, All from thee we borrow, Blessed, holy day! Pledge of rest remaining, Where is no complaining, Glimpse of heaven gaining On this holy day! [Chorus] Tune Title: [When the morn is breaking]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Composer of "[When the morn is breaking]" in The Voice of Praise Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
