YouTube video: Rise With Hope and Joy, choral

Text:
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 and 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 ev'ry 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 Heav'nly Father
For each blessing you can claim.
As your prayer ascends up to Heav'n
In the Savior's name,
As the night grows dark and colder,
Warm your heart with heaven's flame.
