Once more, O Life, the holy time is here,
Engraven on the dreams of every mind,
And mercy for the misery, pain and tear
Is rushing through the soul of human kind;
And evil, all aside, is turned away;
And holiness gives the world a single plan:
That there is in the glory of His day
A something for the heart and dreams of man;
A feeling of His yearning, love and pain,
His help along the paths where we may fall,
And His voice singing through our lives again
In answer when He hears our lonely call.
