Go, when the morning shineth by Henry Lahee — Lyrics
Go when the morning shineth,
Go when the noon is bright,
Go when the eve declineth,
Go in the hush of night;
Go with pure mind and feeling,
Fling earthly thoughts away,
And in thy chamber kneeling,
Do thou in secret pray.
Remember all who love thee,

About Go, when the morning shineth
This partsong for SATB voices sets an English text, often attributed to the Earl of Carlisle, with a message of private devotion. The composer Henry Lahee offers a reflective setting suitable for moments of quiet contemplation, perhaps during a period of personal retreat or at the close of a service. The lyrics encourage turning inward and offering prayers not only for loved ones but also for adversaries, before seeking a personal blessing with a humble spirit. The music would serve well in a secular concert programme as a piece of earnest sentiment, or perhaps in a liturgical setting for a quiet moment of congregational or choir reflection.
