The dawn awakes upon the frozen hill

Lyrics

The dawn awakes upon the frozen hill,
The mist arises, spun in crystal threads,
The songbird wakes beside the river still,
And through the woods a heavenly anthem spreads.
The sacred light now breaks the shadows deep,
And gilds the valley with a gentle gleam;
The waking world, no longer bound to sleep,
Now sings of hope and love's eternal dream.

Flow, crystal water, wash the grief away,
Wind of the east, come chase the bitter pain,
For morning clothes the sorrows of the day
In beauty's gown, to make us whole again.
O, light of day, abide and ever shine!
Comfort our souls and warm us from above,
Within the embrace of this earth divine,
May sorrow cease, and yield to peace and love.
