Gladwin

Verse 1

Sparkling dew soaks the dawn grass

Announcing the nightime's decay

Morning larks on the lawns massed

Signify a new born day

Welcomed rays that the sun casts

Gleam brighter in every single way

Chorus:

Now from the dismal gloom

Of nights incarcerate tomb

Shines your celestial light

Heavenly, sacred sight

Shine on celestial light

A year's full cycle

Are dead and gone long ago

Lambs are playing Sherwood's arraying

Her leafy splendour for to show

Verse 2

You're as fresh as the daybreak

As radiant as the early morning sun

All the weathering of the years make

Your splendour a sight second to none

And mortals from their sleep will wake

To view you for a thousand years on

Chorus

Middle 8

Cathedral's spark set light to dark
