Morning evening noon and night	A
Praise God sang Theocrite	A
	-
Then to his poor trade he turned	A
Whereby the daily meal was earned	A
	-
Hard he laboured long and well	B
O'er his work the boy's curls fell	B
	-
But ever at each period	A
He stopped and sang Praise God ''	-
	-
Then back again his curls he threw	C
And cheerful turned to work anew	C
	-
Said Blaise the listening monk Well done	D
I doubt not thou art heard my son	D
	-
As well as if thy voice to day	A
Were praising God the Pope's great way	A
	-
This Easter Day the Pope at Rome	E
Praises God from Peter's dome ''	-
	-
Said Theocrite Would God that I	F
Might praise him that great way and die ''	-
	-
Night passed day shone	G
And Theocrite was gone	H
	-
With God a day endures alway	A
A thousand years are but a day	A
	-
God said in heaven Nor day nor night	A
Now brings the voice of my delight ''	-
	-
Then Gabriel like a rainbow's birth	I
Spread his wings and sank to earth	I
	-
Entered in flesh the empty cell	B
Lived there and played the craftsman well	B
	-
And morning evening noon and night	A
Praised God in place of Theocrite	A
	-
And from a boy to youth he grew	C
The man put off the stripling's hue	C
	-
The man matured and fell away	A
Into the season of decay	A
	-
And ever o'er the trade he bent	A
And ever lived on earth content	A
	-
He did God's will to him all one	D
If on the earth or in the sun	D
	-
God said A praise is in mine ear	J
There is no doubt in it no fear	K
	-
So sing old worlds and so	L
New worlds that from my footstool go	L
	-
Clearer loves sound other ways	M
I miss my little human praise ''	-
	-
Then forth sprang Gabriel's wings off fell	B
The flesh disguise remained the cell	B
	-
'Twas Easter Day he flew to Rome	E
And paused above Saint Peter's dome	E
	-
In the tiring room close by	F
The great outer gallery	N
	-
With his holy vestments dight	A
Stood the new Pope Theocrite	A
	-
And all his past career	K
Came back upon him clear	K
	-
Since when a boy he plied his trade	A
Till on his life the sickness weighed	A
	-
And in his cell when death drew near	K
An angel in a dream brought cheer	K
	-
And rising from the sickness drear	K
He grew a priest and now stood here	K
	-
To the East with praise he turned	A
And on his sight the angel burned	A
	-
I bore thee from thy craftsman's cell	B
And set thee here I did not well	B
	-
Vainly I left my angel sphere	K
Vain was thy dream of many a year	K
	-
Thy voice's praise seemed weak it dropped	A
Creation's chorus stopped	A
	-
Go back and praise again	O
The early way while I remain	P
	-
With that weak voice of our disdain	P
Take up creation's pausing strain	P
	-
Back to the cell and poor employ	Q
Resume the craftsman and the boy ''	-
	-
Theocrite grew old at home	E
A new Pope dwelt in Peter's dome	E
	-
One vanished as the other died	A
They sought God side by side	A
