Well Done, Lord!

By Swami Kriyananda, performed in the Temple of Light at Ananda Village, 2022.

Lyrics
In India there lived by the banks of a stream
A hermit whose prayers chose applause for their theme.
He gazed at the flowers, and he smiled at the sun,
Then he clapped with delight: “Lord,” he cried, “Oh, well done!”

Well done, Lord! Oh, very well done!
The mountains that laugh with the gypsy clouds!
The fields smile to welcome the sun;
All nature sings praises aloud.
The fields smile to welcome the sun;
All nature sings praises aloud.

The trees dance to show their elation:
A day on God’s earth has begun;
And every true heart in creation
In speechless wonder is bowed;
And every true heart in creation
In speechless wonder is bowed.

Well done, Lord! Oh, very well done!
The joy that You’ve planted in children’s hearts!
The thrill known in bearing a son;
The hope when a trial departs;
The thrill known in bearing a son;
The hope when a trial departs.

The gladness of men in their neighbors,
Of youth, in its victories won!
Our joys are the proof of Your labors:
How wonderful, Lord, are Your arts.
Our joys are the proof of Your labors:
How wonderful, Lord, are Your arts.

Well done, Lord! Oh, very well done!
At last I’ve discovered the mystic key:
The world’s joy, O Secretive One!
Replies to Your sweetness in me.
The world’s joy, O Secretive One!
Replies to Your sweetness in me.

For here in my heart lies the answer:
Your love shedding light like the sun!
All life seems to leap like a dancer,
When, gazing, I see only Thee!
All life seems to leap like a dancer,
When, gazing, I see only Thee!
