The distant light of a new day Behold the first light on the horizon A ray of hope in the darkest hour Now the veil of night is ruptured Let the tide of daybreak flow Heavens of east are rekindled again The last shade of the night swiftly fading away When the sun rises up, shows its bright smiling face In a cascade of light a new day has begun Shine over the earth Every morning is a friend returning Each day a gift of heaven's light Life in every form we know it Beast and plant – all stem from you Day after day you will shine over heaven and earth High above in the sky you are ever enthroned As a proof of God or a God of your own You're the centre, the source From which all energy is derived Time draws to a close For now you're setting The circle complete Now enshrouded in eventide We have no fear because There is no night that is Without an end so we’ll Wait for the first distant light Of a new day, of a new day!
