I met God in the morning,

When the day was at its best,

And His presence came like sunrise,

Like a glory in my breast.

 

All day long the presence lingered,

All day long He stayed with me,

And we sailed in perfect calmness

O’er a very troubled sea.

 

Other ships were blown and battered.

Other ships were sore distressed.

But the winds that seemed to drive them,
Brought to me a peace and rest
