[Verse 1]
       C              G
oh how lovely was the morning

        G7            C
Radiant beamed the sun above

                              G
bees were humming sweet birds singing

              D7          G
music ringing through the grove

     G7               C
when within the shady woodland

       G7                C
Joseph sought the God of love

                      F
When within the shady woodland

       C          G7     C
Joseph sought the God of love
[Verse 2]
       C              G
Humbly kneeling sweet appealing

          G7                  C
'twas the boy's first uttered prayer

                       G
When the powers of sin assailing

                     D7      G
Filled his soul with deep despair

      G7                C
But undaunted, still he trusted

       G7               C
In his Heav'nly Fathers care

                        F
But undaunted, still he trusted

       C        G7      C
In his Heav'nly Fathers care
[Verse 3]
      C          G
Suddenly a light descended

         G7                C
Brighter far than noon-day sun

                       G
And a shining glorious pillar

               D7         G
O'er him fell, around him shone

      G7                    C
While appeared two heavenly beings

        G7             C
God the Father and the Son

                            F
While appeared two heavenly beings

        C      G7      C
God the Father and the Son
[Verse 4]
         C            G
"Joseph, this is my Beloved;

           G7                C
Hear Him!" Oh, how sweet the word!

                           G
Joseph's humble prayer was answered,

                D7     G
And he listened to the Lord.

         G7                 C
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,

       G7             C
For he saw the living God

                            F
Oh, what rapture filled his bosom,

       C       G7     C
For he saw the living God.
