Lord of the Morning

Lord of the Morning 

See the white bird rising.
See the sun shine on his wing.
To the Lord he’s rising.
Greeting the Lord of the Morning
Greeting the Lord of the dawn.

See the white bird soaring.
Gliding on the morning breeze.
Sailing on wings of dawning
Praise to the Lord of the Morning.
Praise to the Master of Day.

Who is the Lord of the Morning?
Who is the one we come to adore?
Christ who has risen from dying!
Jesus the Lord of the Dawn.

Hear the white bird singing.
Singing of our risen king.
With a song he wakes us.
Come sing a song of Christ risen.
Come sing a new song of life.

Now the world awakens.
Christ is risen! He lives!
We can soar in new light.
Greeting the Lord of the Morning!
Greeting the Lord of the Dawn.

Who is the Lord of the Morning?
Who is the one we come to adore?
Christ who has risen from dying!
Jesus the Lord of the Dawn.

Run to greet the sunrise!
Run to greet our risen King.
We now live a new life.
Christ lives and conquers the darkness.
Christ lives and brings us to life.

These are the lyrics to poet's song Lord of the Morning.  Music is available.  Translation to come.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/28/2021 10:56:00 AM Sam, I didn't know you were a songwriter. Your poem gives the reader a sense of peace. We are being watched and protected by a loving God. Have you posted the song on youtube? Hugs, Carolyn Login to Reply Sam Kauffman Date: 3/1/2021 11:07:00 AM Thank you Carolyn. Agreed. We are watched over and protected by a loving God. This is a song my choir, when I was directing, insisted on singing every Easter. Have always loved it. Haven't recorded it but the music from the other seven albums can be found on iHeart radio, Jango or itunes. And, I believe there are a couple of videos on Utube. Hope you are doing well as we prepare to greet the Lord of the Morning on Easter. Blessings dear friend!
