TEXT by Sarah Quartel
Sing for the promise in each new morning.
Sing for the hope in a new day dawning.
All around is beauty bright!
Wake in the morning and sing, my child.
Dance in the joy of the day unfolding.
Dance as you work and dance as you’re learning.
All around is beauty bright!
Take in the day and dance, my child.
But when troubles come and worry is all that can be found,
Gather your strength and hear your voice.
Sing, my child.
Laugh in the cool and the fresh of the ev’ning.
Laugh in your triumph laugh in succeeding.
All around is beauty bright!
Rest in the evening and laugh, my child.
Peace in the stillness and dark of the night.
Peace in the dreams of your silent delights.
All around is beauty bright!
Sleep in the night and peace, my child.
But when troubles come and worry is all that can be found,
Gather your strength and hear your voice.
Sing, my child.
Dance, my child.
Laugh, my child.
Peace, my child.

this song will always have a special place in my heart because it was the first song that i sang in the top choir of my highschool. after spending my entire freshman year longing to be in concert choir and out of freshman choir and finally getting in sophmore year felt so good and will never forget preforming this song and feeling like i finally made it and it felt indescribably good and i get chills thinking about it to this day. not to mention i had the solo. great memories!! #allroadsleadtochoir

Sarah Quartel is an amazing composer!

[@overtonecz]

Totally agree. Her *masterpiece* "Amabile alleluia" greatly inspires my while I compose some new music for my beloved choir (the overtone choir - in Prague).
