TEXT

1. Day is here!
Day is here!
Arise, lift thine eyes!
Look up and see the day.
All creatures wake and see the light.

(Pawnee*)

2. The morning star is up
The morning star is up.
I cross the mountains
into the light of the sea.
(Tohono O’odham*)

*Lyrics for movements 1 and 2 are from: Vi kommer att leva igen; eskimå- och indiandikter interpreted by Gösta Friberg. English translation by Linda Schenck.

3. I himmelen
I himmelen, i himmelen,
där Herren Gud själv bor,
hur härlig bliver sällheten,
hur outsägligt stor!
Där ansikte mot ansikte
jag evigt, evigt Gud får se,
se Herren Sebaot
I himmelen, i himmelen,
vad sälla utan tal!
Av änglarna och helgonen,
vad glans i ärans sal!
Min själ skall bliva dessa lik,
av evighetens skatter rik,
hos Herren Sebaot
(Laurentius Laurinus 1622, from the Swedish Hymnal)

English translation:
In heaven’s hall, in heaven’s hall
where God the Lord resides
What utter joy what pleasure there
where happiness abides
And here are we, now face to face
where God eternal fills the space,
The Lord, the Lord of Hosts.
In heaven’s hall, in heaven’s hall
the blessed gather there.
And there the saints and angels wear
a sheen and haloed hair!
My soul, your soul shall ever be
Enriched for all eternity
By God, the Lord of Hosts
(English translation by Linda Schenck)

4. In beauty
In beauty may I dwell.
In beauty may I walk.
In beauty may all my brothers dwell.
In beauty may my all my sisters dwell.
In beauty may it rain on our children.
In beauty may it rain on us.
In the trail of pollen may it rain.
In beauty may it rain on the young.
In beauty may it rain on our elders.
In beauty before us may it rain.
In beauty behind us may it rain.
In beauty above us may it rain.
In beauty all around us may it rain.
In beauty may I walk.

(Navajo Prayer, Night Way, from Navajo Wildlands, ed. Philip Hyde & Stephen C. Jett, adapted by Robin Blanton and Karin Rehnqvist)
