See the Light of Day

S-ee the light of day, 
H-ave your eyes on shine; 
A-nother dark has turned
I-nto brightness in your way.

L-ight of day shall be seen, 
E-yes of you shall behold; 
E-arly fourth October morn warms the chill so cold.

C-ome see the light of day
U-nderneath the wide sky; 
A-llow the sun to show up, 
D-enying the long night cry.
R-ise up from the bed, close your eyes and pray; 
A-sk the Lord for love to see the light of day.
