Once More Daybreak...

Daybreak; what a gift!

Let your light so shine before men, 
that they may see your good works,
 and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 
Matt.5:16






Once more daybreak’s blush-gold glory draws our eyes to prize hope’s feast
Mercy’s Magnum Opus unfolds like a flower on the east
Beckoning the humble pilgrim pressing toward Heaven’s goal
To reckon redemption’s risen, reigning Savior of the soul

To give thanks and awestruck honor, proving praise as we obey
He who sets His law and order in the bedrock of Today
As dawn’s light flows through the darkness and yon boundless fathoms brim
Pray, the Light of loving kindness will draw all glory to Him

Pray for rekindled awareness of faith’s living sacrifice
Pray for a conscious preparedness for worship’s ultimate price
Pray however meek and lowly our service seems to be
That we offer it with holy, sincere generosity

Once more daybreak hoists the emblem of God’s merciful regard
Sets upon the earth and heavens a semblance of love’s postcard
As compassion stays the legions that wait all around His Throne
As He looks upon the millions He is waiting to atone

Once more daybreak peals with promise; God is gracious to forgive
Death, oh, death is not victorious if we look on Him and live
Come, oh sinner, poor and needy, will you still refuse to pray
Daring to meet God unready in Death’s ‘no more break of day’
