From Yonder Port...

From yonder port the birth of day is forging

An invitation to life’s creature care

It dims the dark of night with light of morning

Like legions of hope borne upon the air

Then rise for soon the noon will be upon us

And soon this breadth of day will ebb away

This life we live tallies into its oneness

The sum of how we spend our day to day

Lord, pray we seek but this with humble favor

To love Thee with full heart and soul and mind

And secondly that we may love our neighbor

Thus leaving a kind legacy behind

From yonder port the good Lord parts night’s curtain

Extending to our reach a day of grace

Uncertainty juxtaposed with Life’s Certain

That one day we will meet Him face to face

From yonder port the love of life's Creator

Does not fling forth mere happenstance to sod

But renders with the light of morning's splendor

Continuance of hope and grace of God
