A sacred hymn with text by Mark Fotheringham and music by Kevin G. Pace.  Watch on YouTube: Rise With Hope and Joy

Rise with hope and joy each morning

As you wake from peaceful sleep,

Knowing that you have a Savior

Watching o'er, your soul to keep.

With the Shepherd guarding His flock,

None may Harm His sheep.

Rise with hope ad joy each morning

As you wake from peaceful sleep.

Toil through days of joy and sadness,

Seeking light and truth to earn.

Listen to the Master Teacher,

Lessons every day to learn.

He has shown perfection and grace,

All for which you yearn

Toil through days of joy and sadness,

Seeking light and truth to earn.

As the night grows dark and colder,

Warm your heart with heaven's flame.

Render thanks to Heavenly Father

For each blessing you can claim.

As your prayer ascends up to Heaven

In the Savior's name,

As the night grows dark and colder,

Warm you heart with heaven's flame.
