The dawning of a new morning

Royston 1946 (Reading)



The full moon shone in the cloudless night
casting shadows with its reflected light,
and myriad stars glowed as time flew past,
spanning the cosmic distances so vast.

The earth slumbered as night passed on its way
awaiting the coming of the brand new day.
Then the sun rose at dawns' opening hour
basking the world in its warmth and power.

My soul awoke from the time it had slept
and praised God for the vigil He had kept.
Watching over me through the darkest night
and welcoming me with His wondrous light.

'Praise God,’ I cried. A new day has begun
'Praise Father, Holy Spirit and The Son.'
As I walk through this brand new day, I pray
‘Dear God please walk with me along the way.
