Be Like The Sun

Sing a song of praise to God and let your voice arise.
Sing a song of praise to God and let it be heard on high.
Be like the sun and shine on ev'ry one.
Sing a song of praise to God and let your voice arise

What can I give back to him for all He's given me.
I will take his cup of love and praise Him joyfully.
Be like the sun and shine on ev'ry one.
What can I give back to Him for all He's give me?

If you want to give to Me then give to one of these.
I, your Lord, have love you so blest are those who follow.
Be like the sun and shine on ev'ry one.
If you want to give Me then give to one on these.

 B. Fabing S.J

Be Glad, O People

Refrain:
Be glad, o people of the earth!
Lift up your heart with song and dance,
for I am with you, yes within you, forever!
You are the heart of My heart.

I will never forget you, O my people;
on the day of anguish I will answer you.
As you join in celebration,
My joy will move among you. Refrain.

You shall find a land to be your home, where sheep
and cattle may freely roam, mountains from which
springs shall flow with living waters. Refrain.

I will your faith burn brightly
So that others may find life's fullness:
Freedom for all captives
And justice for all nations. Refrain

No longer will the circle of your life, 
It's pain and goodness
Be just for yourself:
Your gift to share will flower. Refrain

As you work for others' freedom,
With a seed of hope within you, 
Hunger shall not harm you,
Nor thirst withdraw your courage. Refrain.

 Gregory Norbet, OSB
