Description

Can a day but gladness bring?
Warmth and light,
Hope and life; come,
Let us greet the sun and sing!

And days on which darkness falls?
Cold and dark,
Suffocating;
Splintered limbs kick at the walls.

Resolv’d to my bitter fate,
Heart like stone,
There a voice; warmth
The king’s son in such a state?

Lifted out by friendly strings,
Bones reset;
And cuts cleans’d; come,
Let us greet the Son together.
