I CAME TO MEET YOU

I came to meet you, God
And as I linger here
I seem to feel you very near
A rustling leaf, a rolling slope
Speak to my heart of endless hope.

The sun just rising in the sky
The chirping birds so high fly
The grass all wet with morning dew
Are telling me I just met you.

And, gently, thus the day is born
As night gives way to breaking morn
And once again I’ve met you, God
And worshipped on your holy sod.

For who could see the dawn break through
Without a glimpse of Heaven and you?
For who but God could make the day
And softly put the night away?
