The New Day
Declare his kindnesses
to the morning glories.
Shout out His goodness
to picturesque rainbows.
Listen to bluebirds sing
of his abiding love.
.
Rejoice and behold the
majesty of His creations.
Behold the joyful cry of a
newborn to His kingdom.
Cry out with His praises
for all creatures to hear.
.
The planted seed rises up
in gentle praise of His light.
Golden wheat dances in waves
to the sweet taste of His rains.
Hills of sturdy vines bear
harvests rich in His name.
.
Blankets of stars across the heavens
boast of His continuous light.
A harvest moon rises over teeming
seas to recall His abiding watch.
Choral voices announce the new day
in refrains of the promises He has made.
.
Be of good cheer and praise His name.
In heaven God reigns in splendid grandeur.
