The gift of yet another day of life
Comes only from you, the gracious Giver
Of good. Let all creation praise your name!
Air for breathing, living water for drink,
The word of love between us our lasting link,
Your caring touch — To you be glory forever!
Tumultuous world of anguished men in need!
To Jesus Christ the Savior would you lead
Each precious soul in freedom — All power is yours!
Your servant hears, O Lord! He runs to obey
Your blessed command. Put wings upon his feet.
Let lanterns on a hill illumine your Name!
