Beautiful the way

Beautiful the candle that gives its' light
at the cost of its' own life
Beautiful a summers' night
that the young may revel in loves' delight
And the sacrifice of the mourning son
Too soon was the deed done
on dreaded day
the maker of the way
left us
our sin debt to pay

Beautiful is the One who lets us in
to knowledge that the defeated win
You let your face to shine on me
On every leaflet of grass and leaf on every tree
You give us every glorious day
and every consequence of our ways
To every one this blessed Earth
you gave the spirit which gives the birth
To all the fruits and all the birds
You have pronounced your word
The spirit that flies
That all must die
and be given rebirth
.
