Oh, precious day,
I greet thee,
with grateful heart
and open eyes.
I see the beauty
you lay before me;
here, only truth,
no hidden lies.
Oh, joyful bird,
I hear thee;
singing out,
happily, no lament.
It’s not just your beauty
that I see,
but the song sung
in joyful wonderment.
Oh, radiant sun,
I welcome thee;
to warm
my youthful soul.
Shining bright
for all to see;
a sunlit kiss,
your only toll.
Oh, bright moon,
I watch thee;
waiting only
to see your face.
Shining away,
you amaze me;
bringing light
to the darkest place.
Oh, sweet saviour,
I thank thee;
for this gift of life
you so freely give.
For all to choose,
sacred eternity;
loving one another,
ever shall we live.
Oh, sweet child,
I bless thee;
go, live a life
full of joy and love.
Walk in faith,
you will see;
all the beauty
sent, from God above.
