Hail Smiling Morn

Hail Smiling Morn

"Hail Smiling Morn", Roud #1346, is a glee which is sung either as a Christmas carol or as an Easter carol, and features in the Yorkshire pub Christmas singing traditions found in several parts of the city of Sheffield. It is performed also by choral societies in Huddersfield and Bradford. [Brian Kay, notes for CD "Christmas Carols Ancient and Modern" ("BBC Music", 1999)]

It was composed in 1810 by Reginald Spofforth and has been described as having been "possibly the most popular glee in the entire repertory". [cite encyclopedia | last = Temperley | first = Nicholas | encyclopedia = Grove Dictionary of Music | title = Spofforth, Reginald | publisher = Oxford University Press] An arrangement for SATB and piano is published by Banks' Music in their "York Series".:Hail smiling morn, smiling morn,:That tips the hills with gold, that tips the hills with gold, :Whose rosy fingers ope the gates of day,:Ope the gates, the gates of day,:Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!

:Who the gay face of nature doth unfold,:Who the gay face of nature doth unfold,:At whose bright presence darkness flies away, flies away, :Darkness flies away, darkness flies away,:At whose bright presence darkness flies away, flies away, :Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!:Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
