Verse 1:         In the quiet, chilly darkness of the morning,

                        In the quiet of the morning when the world is half asleep,

It’s the perfect time to turn my eyes upon Him:

There’s the morning star, one Venus, shining brilliant in the east.

           

Chorus:           For I see Jesus in the sky,

In heavenly bodies set so high.

The sun and moon and stars don’t lie;

Yes, I see Jesus in the sky.

Verse 2:         In the early afternoon when life is hurried,

In the afternoon when trouble comes to take us all by storm,

It’s the perfect time to turn my eyes upon Him:

As I head out for a little stroll, the sun is high and warm.

 

(Repeat chorus)

 

Bridge:           When I’m feeling lonesome, tired or afraid,

I look toward the splendid skies he made.

Though none can comprehend, they don’t begin or end;

For God has put them in their place to last forever,

And ever and ever ... ever and ever.

 
Verse 3:         Then the twilight of the evening rolls in softly,

Then the evening rolls in softly and our day ends all too soon.

It’s the perfect time to turn my eyes upon Him:

Time to wind down with a good book and to greet the rising moon.

 

(Repeat chorus once or twice)
