The day is done -- and now
The moon has followed up
The sunset's glowing.
The night is on. The seeds sown through the day
Are thriving -- growing.
God scatters dew upon them with a blessing,
A thing He gives to earth with tender care.
His Hand with beauty ever is caressing;
He puts a special hue or fragrance there.
When night is gone and dawn wakes in its glory
And rouses up the sun in morning's hour,
And this same sun bursts forth in brilliant fury
To coax the seeds to light by its great power,
The love of all that's good and great and holy --
The spirit of His gentle love and care --
Wells in my heart, and then I know it -- truly --
That God is love and He is everywhere.
We know that this same Hand that made the violets
And fixed each petal on the dainty rose
Has raised the mountains in majestic glory
To lie forevermore in sweet repose.
We know this world would e'er be void of beauty,
Of love and kindness toward our fellowman
If God were not, and giving thanks
Should be a loving duty -- whene'er --
The day is done.
