Song: Now That the Daylight Fills the Sky
Now that the daylight fills the sky,
We lift our hearts to God on high
That She, in all we do or say,
Would keep us free from harm today,
“All praise to You, Creator Lord!
All praise to You, eternal Word!
All praise to You, O Spirit wise!”
We sing as daylight fills the skies.
