Sunday’s when the mission church From morning into night Does its best with faithful rest To praise the Lord of light. The Lord of life who guides us all When dawn proclaims the day And we awake with thanks to take Our part in some small way.
Linked to Dverse Poetics where SaraSouthwest is hosting with the theme of days of the week.

Lovely use of form, Frank. What’s it called? Or did you make it up? Such a lovely image, too, and I like the communal feel of your church.

Thank you, Sarah! The form is some kind of “common meter” with rhyme scheme abcb defe. There is an added internal rhyme in the third lines. I didn’t make it up, but I don’t know any more specific name for it than common meter.
