So Good For To Wake

The wintery dawn sky is sunless and grey 

But so good for to wake for to greet a new day

Feeling happy and well 

Than you many have sadder stories to tell

So many who went to sleep last night now among the dead

And though you are ageing more living of you ahead

Feeling content and healthy without physical pain

You are one who does not have cause to complain

Though not among the wealthier sort of the town

You cannot find any reason to feel down

Feeling healthy and well and living free of stress

You have the greatest gift that anyone does possess

And this is life such a wonderful thing

It's praises so many feel happy to sing.
