Composer's Notes:
This is an adaptation of the anthem Dear God (anthem) (SATB, cello, organ) for use in worship. It may be preceded by Litany of Healing Prayers. Here is Herb's text:
Dear moon o'er Winter mountain
Where midnight clouds will roll,
Awake the hidden fountain
That sleeps within my soul.
Dear cloud, paint earth your shadow,
Go roaming through my night
To chase away the spirits
That cover your delight.
Dear stars that fall through darkness,
Shine hope into my eyes,
My soul will laugh to hearken
Your spirits in the skies.
Dear sun, you open morning
And tune the evening song,
Make brightness your adorning
And hold the brightness long.
Dear God of all the reasons
For Winter Summer Fall,
Awake us in due season.
In Spring awake us all.
