Hail Smiling Morn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This song can be either a Christmas carol or an Easter carol, and is from the Yorkshire pub Christmas singing traditions found in several parts of the city of Sheffield. It is performed also by choral societies in Huddersfield and Bradford [1]. The music was composed in 1810 by Reginald Spofforth 1.
- Hail smiling morn, smiling morn,
- That tips the hills with gold, that tips the hills with gold,
- Whose rosy fingers ope the gates of day,
- Ope the gates, the gates of day,
- Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
- Who the gay face of nature doth unfold,
- At whose bright presence darkness flies away, flies away,
- Darkness flies away, darkness flies away,
- At whose bright presence darkness flies away, flies away,
- Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
- Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
