Rev. Don's Poetry Share

Prayer at Sunrise

by James Weldon Johnson


Now thou art risen, and thy day begun.

How shrink the shrouding mists before thy face,

As up thou spring’st to thy diurnal race!

How darkness chases darkness to the west,

As shades of light on light rise radiant from thy crest!

For thee, great source of strength, emblem of might,

In hours of darkest gloom there is no night.

Thou shinest on though clouds hide thee from sight,

And through each break thou sendest down thy light.


O greater Maker of this Thy great sun,

Give me the strength this one day’s race to run,

Fill me with light, fill me with sun-like strength,

Fill me with joy to rob the day its length.

Light from within, light that will outward shine,

Strength to make strong some weaker heart than mine,

Joy to make glad each soul that feels its touch;

Great Father of the sun, I ask this much.

Contributions to this will support Find Hope Now, an initiative of the Southern New England Conference designed to equip and support our local churches in being beacons of hope and radical hospitality. 80% of our contributions remain within the conference, directly supporting programs to help equip leaders, provide opportunities to experience God in nature and increase our presence in the region.

The remaining 20% goes to support national level initiatives.



Please give prayerful consideration to your donation.
