The SUN!! True, today at around 12.15 pm, I was really thrilled to catch a glimpse of the sun, hardly to be seen here these days.
And, at that moment I was reminded of a hymn that we used to sing in school. It has a lot of in depth meaning, and it is just a right one to start the new year with.
Life and light and joy are found
In the presence of the lord:
Life with richest blessing crowned,
Light from many fountains poured -
Life and light and holy joy,
None can darken or destroy.
Bring to him life’s brightest hours,
He will make them still more bright;
Give to him your noblest powers,
He will hallow all your might;
Come to him with eager quest,
You shall hear his high behest.
All your questions large and deep,
All the open thought of youth,
Bring to him, and you shall reap
All the harvest of his truth;
You shall find in that great store
Largest love and wisest lore.
Then when comes life’s wider sphere
And its busier enterprise,
You shall find him ever near,
Looking with approving eyes,
On all honest work and true
His dear servants’ hands can do.
And if care should dim your eyes,
If life’s shadows come a pace,
You shall find him ever nigh
In the glory of his face.
Changing sorrows dark as night
Into morning, clear and bright.
I believe, that faith in the ultimate power above us, be it of any religion or country will change all our sorrows into happiness, and make our mornings clear and bright.
I wish all my readers
A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS
NEW YEAR 2011
