The Apostles, Op. 49, Pt. 1: I. The Calling of the Apostles, The Dawn

The Watchers:

It shines!

The face of all the East is now ablaze with light, the Dawn reacheth even unto Hebron!

MORNING PSALM

The Singers:

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High:

To shew forth Thy loving kindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness every night,

Upon the psaltery, upon the harp with a solemn sound.

For Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through Thy work: I will triumph in the works of Thy hands.

For, lo, Thine enemies, 0 Lord, shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
