Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGF HIHI JKJKLMLM JNENOPOQ RSRSTBUB| 'Tis morning and the meadows yet | A |
| Are wet with gracious drops of dew | B |
| Each blade of grass and flow'r is set | A |
| With sparkling gems of richest hue | B |
| The sun with rising glory sheds | C |
| A radiance that none divine | D |
| Save those who early leave their beds | C |
| When glist'ning dew drops briefly shine | D |
| - | |
| Just ere the rising sunbeams play | E |
| From glorious orb of rosy red | F |
| There is no sound of life no hum | G |
| And but seemingly all things are dead | F |
| - | |
| But when the blessed welcome beams | H |
| Light up and cheer and warm the earth | I |
| All things awaken from their dreams | H |
| To celebrate Creation's birth | I |
| - | |
| The very fields are filled with life | J |
| With hum of bee and insect throng | K |
| The woods are vocal with the strife | J |
| Of friendly rivalry in song | K |
| But 'tis the Sabbath morn and now | L |
| Are heard no sounds of industry | M |
| Save milk maid calling to her cow | L |
| Or buzzing of the toilsome bee | M |
| - | |
| Or save perhaps the gentle neigh | J |
| Of horses answering the call | N |
| For mother father child to day | E |
| Must hear the holy words that fall | N |
| From lips that pray with them and preach | O |
| To them the old old words of cheer | P |
| They must receive the sounds that teach | O |
| Those solemn truths they love to hear | Q |
| - | |
| But now the sun's increasing heat | R |
| Hath dried the dew and warm'd the air | S |
| The feather'd songsters now retreat | R |
| Fann'd by the sun's relentless glare | S |
| The morning service now is o'er | T |
| The pastor kindly greeted too | B |
| And after greetings at the door | U |
| They all their homeward way pursue | B |
