Bem de Manhã

Early in the morning, serene the day arises
Already a thousand birds sing their praise
Light comes to fill the world with joy
Early in the morning, I am with You, Lord

Early in the morning, joyful, nature
Gives its praise to the God of creation
Alone, with fervor, I seek more purity
I come to You, oh God, in prayer

Father, when finally the light fades from the world
And when the sky is already very dark
Come grant, in Your deep love
Light, protection, rest in You, Lord
