Embracing Earth

The light in east, His breaking dawn,
     Casts all our fears away;
To our dark night He says “Begone!”
     He comes in light of day.

By His pure light at last we see
     The beauty all around–
The sky and trees and hills and seas;
     His wonders here abound.

Wherever we our eyes now cast
     We see His grace shine through,
And know He will forever last–
     Bathes all in glory’s hue. 

And when our life on earth is done,
     The good earth we embrace
And know we’ll rise in vict’try won
     For all the human race.
