In The Morning, Joy

Cory has asked us to look over the words to "In The Morning, Joy." He especially wants us to connect with the message of this song. I am putting the words here for your convenience.

There is a conference talk by President Monson in 2009 that I feel speaks to the topic of this song. If you have time, I'd recommend you listen to or read it. Here's the link: Conference Talk

IN THE MORNING, JOY

Blue mist rising, rising from the hollows to the hills.

Morning comes, and with it all the joy that morning brings.

Gone the weeping, weeping of the long night slowly stills.

Morning comes, and with the morning joy, joy!

Pale sun glowing, glowing, drives the darkness from the night.

Morning comes, horizons gleam with promise for the day.

Shadows dancing, dancing freely in the breaking light.

Morning comes, and with the morning, joy, joy!

Anxious mother, wayward child, lost, alone.

Grieving father, lonesome soldier far from home.

Heartsick family, weeping through the long dark night,

Wait for morning, for it comes, and with it joy, and with it joy!

Bright sun shining, shining burns the rising mist away, burns the rising mist away.

Morning comes, the morning full of promise and delight, and delight.

No more waiting, waiting for the light and warmth of day.

Morning comes and with the morning joy.

And with the morning, joy.
