1. A spark, a glimmer, A glow through the trees, The sweet smell of morning, The cool of the breeze, Rushing down through the mountain, Bidding day to begin Giving symbol and sign To light rising within.
2. For there newness waits With a freedom so clear; Now rise and embrace it, There’s nothing to fear; For our Father has given To each chosen one The truth-bearing Light of His Son.
Break forth and shine, Light of this new day; We have waited long for Thee Through the night we pray; Arise and shine, Light of this new day; Teach us of God’s plan And guide us in His way!
3. To youth and to aged God’s promise is sure; By light and by Spirit He makes all men pure, To stand in His presence And live in His sight, We promise to walk in His light!
Break forth and shine, Light of this new day; We have waited long for Thee Through the night we pray; Arise and shine, Light of this new day; Teach us of God’s plan And guide us in His way!
Let there be light, to clear the path, Light! to set a spark, Light! a ray of hope, Light! dispel the dark, Light! to clear our minds, Light! to cleanse our souls, Light! to nourish seeds, Light to make us whole!
Break forth and shine, Light of this new day; We have waited long for Thee Through the night we pray; Arise and shine, Light of this new day; Teach us of God’s plan And guide us in His way!
