This Day Is a Good Day, Lord

1. This day is a good day, Lord, 

The heavens and the earth restored. 

The sun is risen o’er the land, 

As if by Thine express command— 

All nature guided by Thy hand. 

This day is a good day, Lord.

2. This day is a good day, Lord, 

To feast upon Thy holy word, 

To turn our busy minds to Thee, 

Behold Thy face in all we see, 

And contemplate eternity. 

This day is a good day, Lord.

3. This day is a good day, Lord, 

To fashion plowshares from our swords, 

To study all the ways of peace, 

That holiness may never cease, 

And knowledge of Thy ways increase. 

This day is a good day, Lord.
