Just Begun

Born today, just begun; born to shine like the sun.
This whole world is cold, ever old; you are young like the sun.
You walked the waters of the waking world at dawn;
You grew the trees and meadowed lawns.
You breathed the life into the lion and the lamb:
You are first of all, and before all things, yet You are
Born today, just begun; born to shine like the sun.
This whole world is cold, ever old; you are young like the sun.
You love the evenings and You love the break of days;
You love the way the sunlight stays.
You love the dawn of time, of woman and of man:
You are first of all, and before all things, yet You are
Born today, just begun; born to shine like the sun.
This whole world is cold, ever old; You are young like the sun.
