Joy, Joy, Joy!
—inspired by “Ever New Joy”
Joy, joy, joy—
Morning breaks open in joy.
Light of starlight, hiding
Behind the sun.
Joy, joy, joy—
Noon breaks bread
Lovingly baked
By God-guided hands.
Joy, joy, joy—
Evening calls the faithful
To rest from a full day’s labor
Practiced by Divine decree.
Joy, joy, joy—
Night covers maya’s delusion
So the spiritual eye
May bound in brilliance.
Good faith questions and comments welcome!
