GRAND CANYON, by                    
First Line: When morning comes on wings of golden light
Last Line: The signature of god upon the earth.
Subject(s): Grand Canyon, Arizona


When morning comes on wings of golden light
Reflecting colors over crumbling shale
In varied hues, some vivid, others pale,
The shrine of ages flames, as Time in flight
Portrays to man an awe-inspiring sight.
The Colorado winding through the dale
Looks skyward through her rainbow misty veil,
Revealing God in His majestic might.

This mass of beauty, painted by God's hand
Is but Time's record on a granite page.
When scenes evolve and change by cosmic birth
Beneath the azure dome that roofs the land;
Thus is this mighty shrine defying age,
The signature of God upon the earth.
