Does anyone know all the lyrics to "It's a Brand New Day" written by Jesuit Paul Quinlan about 1969. It was very popular in the late '60s and early '70s?

It's a brand new day, everything is fine Though it may be gray, I want you to know that the sun's gonna shine And out of that sky, piercing every cloud, is our God on high! There will be a new heart for every man like the flowers that bloom in early spring For every life there is a plan, no matter what autumn breezes bring So put away care, let freedom be yours Joy is everywhere, joy is everywhere! Let freedom ring, alleluia now Everybody sing let your voices shout to the mighty King.

From our archives I found 2 more verses

2.
Well the heaven's declare in a way so grand
If the skies are fair or windy or gray
it's the work of His Hands
And down on that ground, with never a word
Such a mighty sound
And the morning will see the rolling sun
As he happily rises o'er the land
A messenger on his daily run
Brings news of the Father's guiding Hand
3.
His Law of love, it is wholly wise
Word from above gives joy to my heart and it's light to my eyes
It's riches are fine out lasting all days
To the end of time
Though I walk in the path of evil ways
And my thoughts are a presence causing pain
There's always a sun of future days
That follows a time of wind and rain

I remember singing this song as a kid in Catholic school. This was one of my favorite songs during our weekly school mass. It brings back wonderful memories.

Amazing! Google & you guys are amazing! Miss Smeekens used to play that on her guitar at St. Dennis. Its amazing the lives we touch when we speak God's word! I went to bed feeling really down hearted and awoke with that song on my mind. Blessings on all of you and Miss Smeekens to...wherever she is! Thanks!

Does anyone have the sheet music, or chords for this song?
I want to have it played at my father's funeral mass this weekend if possible!
Thank you very much

I am also looking for the sheet music to It's a Brand New Day by Paul Quinlan. It's a family traditional favorite and my sister and I want to sing it at our Mother's funeral. If anyone has a copy I'm happy to pay for it to be scanned and sent to me. Thank you kindly to the community
