Ah, light of day
Ah, light of day
You drive the dark of night away
Silver and gold, purple and rose
The Artist's palette overflows
From heaven to earth rolls a sea
As hope's unbridled majesty
Unveils from pedestals above
A portrait of enduring love
Then rise and shine,
Then rise and shine
What privilege is yours and mine
For, in the portrait of God's love
If we study it close enough
What utter inclusion we find
Not one of us is left behind
In each new portrait He sets free
Ah, there is you and there is me
Forbid we rush
Forbid we rush
Without a glance at God's paintbrush
Without a second thought of He
Who never forgets you and me
But in each portrait He unfurls
He includes all his boys and girls
Then pray that we take time enough
To thank the Artist for His love
For light of day
For light of day
To drive the dark of night away
To unveil dawn's untainted pose
In silver, gold, purple and rose
For each Original set free
Ah, there is you and there is me
Not one single person forgot
In each portrait by God's love wrought
