Each hour marks a mighty resurrection, a time of overcoming fate and fear,
the dawning of a common understanding
in which the grace of God is drawing near.
Each morning brings a sense of new creation.
New life, new love, encompasses the earth.
New time, new light illuminates the distance,
as though the world is coming, fresh, to birth.
Verses 3-4 follow
