Does anyone know where these lyrics came from?

I was recently reminiscing and I started to remember a morning song that my Grandfather used to sing to me to get me up in the morning. I as I remember it went something like this:

Every sleeper awaken

The sun's in the sky

Come rise

Come rise

And hear the Cuckoo cry

Cu-ckoo, Cu-ckoo

Wake up

Be spry

    “Let all the children waken, The sun is in the sky,

    Awaken! Awaken! And hear the Cuckoo cry.

    Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

    Wake up! Be Happy! Wake up Mr. Sun,

    The night has gone, The day has begun! "
