When We Waken in the Morning
A Hymn for The Rev. Dr. Paige M. McRight
Text: John A. Dalles, 2012; Suggested Familiar Tune: KELVINGROVE
When we waken in the morning,
Jesus meets us there!
When we sing, the Lord adoring,
Jesus meets us there!
When we hear God’s sacred Word,
When we live all we have heard—
When we waken in the morning,
Jesus meets us there!
When throughout the day we gather,
Jesus meets us there!
When we do His work together,
Jesus meets us there!
When our workmanship is fine,
When it’s for the Lord of time—
When throughout the day we gather,
Jesus meets us there!
When we share Christ’s cup of blessing,
Jesus meets us there!
When our goal is praise unceasing,
Jesus meets us there!
When we offer heart and mind,
When our goal is good and kind—
When we share Christ’s cup of blessing,
Jesus meets us there!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus meets us there!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus meets us there!
When we venture far or near,
It is Christ’s “Well done!” we’ll hear!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Jesus meets us there!

Hi John, Loved the hymn and what a lovely choice of hymn tune! It was not one I was familiar with but felt very at home with it by the end of the song. Thank you for your faithful and creative efforts to make hymn singing, that is praising our Savior, a joy all the day long! And I rest assured just as the hymn states, Jesus as well as the Father and Spirit meet us here in our praise!
