A new day bids us wake To clear and cloudy weather, And for each other's sake Restores us to each other: Remembering God, we say: This is his world, his day. As all life needs the sun, Which never ceases giving, Even when day is gone Its energy for living: Forget God, though we may, This is his world, his day. Once more we rise to face Another day's beginning, To find in his free grace Forgiveness for our sinning: Resist God, though we may, This is his world, his day. So now, in solitude, Or met in Christ together, We praise our loving God And pray for one another: Believing, come what may This is his world, his day.
