Break of Dawn
Dawn breaks upon a waking year
A burst of hope and light,
Look to the eastern sky and see
The day is kindling bright.
Dawn’s color glows expectantly
All yellow, orange, and red,
Reflected on the morning clouds
Which start their wind-swept tread.
This year, though young, glows bright with hope,
With promise of God’s love,
Reflected on the clouds we see
While looking up above.
With faith and eagerness we face
This year just at its dawn,
Because we see the rising of
The same life-giving Son.
