1.
I met God in the morning
When the day was at its best
And his presence came like sunrise
Like a glory within my breast.

2.
All day long his presence lingered
All day long he stayed with me
And we sailed in perfect calmness
Over a very troubled sea.

3.
Other ships were blowin' battered
Other ships were so distressed
But the wind that seemed to drive them
Brought to us a peaceful rest.

4.
Then I thought about the mornings
When the King soothed my doubts
When I too had trusted blind
With his presence left behind.

5.
So I think I know the secret
Learned from many troubled ways –
You must seek God in the morning
If you want him through the day.
