How lovely is the morning,
as we come and waken you
God's early morning blessing,
we're pleased to sing to you.
On the day that you were born
the flowers came into bloom.
On the day of your baptism
the Saints rejoiced with song.
The dawn is now appearing
as the rays of sun break through.
Rise early this bright morning
as we sing hello to you.
How I wish I were St. Peter,
how I wish I were St. John
As we bring this salutation
in the very early dawn.
From all the stars in Heaven,
I wish I could get two -
One wishing you good morning,
the other bidding adieu.
With a bouquet of carnations,
we have come to sing our song,
To fill your day with colours,
so that you may carry on.
