The original singer of the song "Early in the Morning" is Yerushalayim, a hymn of praise that expresses longing and reverence for the early morning. The lyrics are Early in the morning, I come into your sanctuary, I come to you respectfully, I stand solemnly under the cross, I raise my child's face to you. Your name is our sunshine, illuminating all the gloom and darkness, and your words are desert springs, moisturizing our thirsty hearts.
