~Blessed Day~

~H Edward Rowe~
It was a bright and blessed day
When our Savior came this way,
Bringing promise in our time
Of life abundant and sublime.

Though all the world had passed us by
And left us in the dark to cry,
There sounded forth His voice of love
That challenged us to live above …

Above the shadows of the land,
Above the mire and sinking sand,
Above the valley of the night -
Above the prison of our plight.

We listened when we heard that voice
That offered us a brighter choice -
That voice of hope and hallowed care
Calling us to love and share.

So from this day let’s build on high
More stately castles in the sky -
All shining in the noonday sun.
For night is past; the dawn has come..

Now through His grace the day is won
And, lighted by the Heaven-sent Son,
From moon to moon and shore to shore
We’ll sound His praise - forevermore.

Ó 1998 by H. Edward Rowe
