Beautiful Birth, Glorious God
With open heart
And with honest mind
I reflect now on years past
Which span behind
May in these years
I see the moving Hand
Of God at work for
His good long planned
May I look also
At the years ahead
A horizon beautiful
Before me does spread
If always I take
God’s sacred Way
Through joy and trial
Through night and day
For He created me
Knew me from eternity
So does He create good
From all that we see
Having looked behind
And looked also ahead
I celebrate the moment
The “now” instead
For every moment
One from another does shift
Is from our Heavenly Father
A precious, divine gift
And so each day
Is also divine gift so great
So may we celebrate these days
These gifts our Father does create
