Like the sun in the moon’s path br you eclipse all things earthly br To show your light, beautiful, br In the dark of night; you make br Beautiful that which was br Hidden in darkness. You make br In your time brief, flowers to br Fuel life, and bees to make, br Honey - you are like the gems br From Africa: the diamond br Before it is cut. From dirt br You were made, your color is br Like finely polished brass, or br Cedar polished with oils from br The temple - heavenly gift - br That Solomon built to God. br For you are a gift, to God br By God, shared with man.
