The gift of each day rising out of darkness: the promise of light and the birth of new life, the dawn of new hope and a new beginning, if we turn to the light; The gift of each day stirring all around us: the sights of the earth, and sea, and sky, Forever fresh as the day we first saw them, forever new as creation’s first day. Domine, gratias agimus tibi; Lord God, we give you thanks, blessing, and praise. Behold creation, so filled with miracles, Benedictus es, benedictus es, Domine. 5 10 The gift of each day has been freely granted: the gift of creation in glory revealed. We thank you, Lord, for all its blessings, we thank you, Lord, for the gift of each day, your good gift of each day, we thank you, Lord, for the gift of each day.
