Colours Of Day

 

Words by Sue McClellan, John Paculabo and Keith Rycroft

This hymn is about going forth in life and is in praise of Jesus, making it suitable as the first hymn sung at the beginning of the service, which is in praise of God in whose presence everyone has assembled.

 

 

Play theTune

 

Colours of day dawn into the mind,

The sun has come up, the night is behind.

Go down in the city, into the street,

And let's give the message to the people we meet.

 

 

Refrain:

So light up the fire and let the flame burn,

Open the door, let Jesus return.

Take seeds of his Spirit, let the fruit grow,

Tell the people of Jesus, let his love show.

 

 

Go through the park, on into the town;

The sun still shines on, it never goes down.

The light of the world is risen again;

The people of darkness are needing our friend.

 

 

Open your eyes, look into the sky,

The darkness has come, the sun came to die.

The evening draws on, the sun disappears,

But Jesus is living, and his Spirit is near.
