Representative Text

1 Each morning brings us fresh out-poured
the loving kindness of the Lord.
It ends not as the day goes past,

Your holy flame within us glow,

3 Walk with us in the light of day,
that we may ever, come what may,
in hope endure, in faith be strong;
abide in us our whole life long.
