Let love light upon your shoulder
Like the beauty of the spring
Don't let sorrows make you older
While the world around you sings
Lay down your heavy burden
Rescind the path you choose
In joyous praise be certain
Creation now renews
Consider fields and flowers
Displays of jeweled hues
Count each minute not each hour
The hand of God ensues
Let the gentle rains of heaven
Wash away your tears
Let breezes bring you blessing
Watch your sadness disappear
Remember for each rainbow
A rain cloud once appeared
Surrender every shadow
Release then every fear
Let nature give you nurture
The hand of God abounds
His promises are made sure
His splendour all surrounds
Erase the cares you've borrowed
Disappointments now cast down
Dream of daybreak and tomorrow
As the earth again spins round
