The sun rises and we greet the day
To dread or cheer along the way

What this we think, we look, we see
Of how we’ll live and how we’ll be

As light shines now bright and clear
Or through fog and cloud, from One so dear

To warm the heart and fortify our bone
Lift our faces…We are not alone

A promise renew and peace lift up
For strength and joy to fill our cup

We thank you God for your love and care
For this new day, with us everywhere
