Sun-Hail

Hail to the Sun!

Hail to her rising,

Hail to the bright and shining Day!

Hail to her setting,

Hail to her light along our way!

Early in the morning

The foaming waves are grey and cold.

At the beginning of the story

I stand and watch the dawn unfold.

See her dancing on the water

On a path of shining gold,

Like a kindled fire in winter,

A brilliant glory to behold!

Hail to the Sun!

Hail to her rising,

Hail to the bright and shining Day!

Hail to her setting,

Hail to her light along our way!

Through the day she watches

As she travels in the skies.

Stretching to the far horizons,

Fair the world below her lies.

Warmth she gives to all earth's creatures,

Light to all that lives and dies.

Bright her coming and her going,

How bright the sunshine in our eyes!

Hail to the Sun!

Hail to her rising,

Hail to the bright and shining Day!

Hail to her setting,

Hail to her light along our way!
