Lyrics
Morning is here. The day sings its beauty.
Joy has awakened deep in our hearts.
All that we know, all that we cherish
Waits for our answer: We’ll do our parts.
This is the day we are given. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us be kind and compassionate,
Offering freely our love.
Let our hands build a heaven here on this beautiful planet.
This is the day we are given. Let us rejoice and be glad.
Morning is here, filled with abundance.
We live in wonder, bathed in the truth:
We are the hope and dream of creation.
We’ll bring the healing. We’ll be the proof.
This is the day we are given. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us be kind and compassionate,
Offering freely our love.
Let our hands build a heaven here on this beautiful planet.
This is the day we are given. Let us rejoice and be glad.
Morning is here. How shall we greet it?
What can we bring to offer our praise?
Life starts anew. We stand at the threshold.
Now and forever, we’ll walk in love’s ways.
This is the day we are given. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Let us be kind and compassionate,
Offering freely our love.
Let our hands build a heaven here on this beautiful planet.
This is the day we are given. Let us rejoice and be glad.
