A morning hymn – What a morning! Sunlit, glorious

Philippians 4 

8 … siblings, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

1           What a morning! Sunlit, glorious,
              sign of providence and grace,
              as the light shines on our shoulders
              feel the spirit warm this place.
              Warm the words we speak together,
              deep the love in which we’re held,
              fine the fellowship we’re sharing,
              peace that cannot be excelled.

2           Peace that fosters common purpose
              in the service of our friends,
              reaching out to every neighbour
              with a love that never ends.
              Love our source and contemplation,
              love the motivating power,
              love the end of prayer and praising,
              shared within this morning hour.
