31. Every Day's Another Dawning

    Every day’s another dawning.
    Give the morning winds a chance.
    Always catch your thunder yawning.
    Lift your mind into the dance.
    Sweep the shadows from your awning.
    Shrink the four-fold circumstance.
    Stop self-pity’s pious moaning.
    End the preachers’ noisy cant.

    What a friend we have in Gaia,
    bounteous water, food, and air.
    What a friend we have in Gaia,
    rich and regal mother fair.
    Sweep the shadows from your awning.
    Shrink the four-fold circumstance.
    Every day’s another dawning.
    Give the morning winds a chance.

Traditional Title: What a Friend We Have in Jesus.
