I'm putting together a hirthday surprise for my daughter of her earliest memories - can anyone tell me the words to 'The Golden Cockerel' - 'crows in the morning, wake up children, welcome the day' is about as far as I get. But I have memories of singing it on the way to school with her, swinging her schoolbag... happy days - thanks to anyone who can help

Never heard of it myself but found this elsewhere

The golden cockerel
Crows in the morning
Wake up, children
Welcome the day.
God's bright sun is
Riding the heavens
Chasing sleepiness away.
Father
Gladly we greet you
Here come
Running to meet you
Please be
In us and near us
Hallowing our work and play.

I used to sing it, and I agree with the words except I thought it was "Following our work and play" at the end.
