I wrote this as a congregational sing for the local UU church for which I wrote lots of music (see my CD Ceremonies and Celebrations) and for which I acted as President for a number of years.
Here we are together again
Come and greet the day
Surrounded by our family and friends
Come and greet the day
Greet the day with a grateful heart
For earth of which we’re all apart
For every dawn’s a brand new start
Come and greet the day
Come and greet the day
Here we are together again
Come and greet the day
Surrounded by our family and friends
Come and greet the day
Greet the day with a helping hand
Spread your goodness through the land
Against injustice take a stand
Come and greet the day
Come and greet the day
Here we are together again
Come and greet the day
Surrounded by our family and friends
Come and greet the day
Greet the day with an open mind
Each soul’s a gift for us to find
To build a world takes many kinds
Come and greet the day
Come and greet the day
Here we are together again
Come and greet the day
Surrounded by our family and friends
Come and greet the day
