This is the day the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Ps.118:24
‘This is the day the
Lord has made’
A gift to humankind
How much more dear its promenade
If we keep this in mind
From formless deeps its goodness seeps
Through fathoms none can scale
The faithful light of morning keeps
His words that will not fail
Dawn dances on dew-dappled girth
It haloes petal-plume
It pours Time’s newness from a berth
Beyond earth’s living room
Then praise the Lord for all things new
The old never replayed
Then we should raise a new song too
For this day He has made
