Stanza Arc
The narrative or theological arc traced by this tune's stanzas: A Celtic-inflected doxology that moves from the renewal of creation at each dawn (first morning, first bird) through the gift of sustaining rain and dew (first dewfall) to the singer's joyful personal claim on light and life as Eden-born, unbroken gifts from God.
