[Verse 1]
I come to thee, oh earth
With my gifts for every flower
Gem like dew I cast with mirth
With gentle calm and proud with power
[Chorus]
On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant as each night is won
[Verse 2]
I come with every star
A thousand voices hushed in tone
I whisper stories from afar
Bathed in light I stand alone
[Chorus]
On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant as each night is won
[Verse 3]
I come from ancient kings
Through sleeping leaves I bring the storm
With no remorse the tempest sings
Through every tree and field and form
[Chorus]
On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant as each night is won
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
I come from moonlit sky
A song of peace to all who sleep
On silver wings I gently fly
A harbour safe from swirling deep
[Chorus]
On and on each day is done
On and on triumphant as each night is won
[Verse 5]
I come from far at sea
Where dawning light it shadows me
In skimming waves I go with glee
The endless hunt it keeps me free
[Chorus]
On and on each day is done
On and on chased by the sun
On and on triumphant as each night is won
