EXPLANATION OF THE GLOSSING SYSTEM
(to understand how I describe the signs in this translation).

EVERYDAY, EVERYDAY, SWEET LORD
ME PRAY ABOUT THREE THINGS:
1-OF-3, SEE YOU MORE CLEAR,
2-OF-3, LOVE YOU MORE DEAR,
3-OF-3, FOLLOW YOU MORE NEAR,
EVERYDAY.


Notes: ME - Underlined words are honorific indices ("indexes"), using the FT of the upturned palm to indicate who is being honored.

1-OF-3 - NDH [3], PO > signer, FO > DS, DH taps thumb. For 2-OF-3 tap index finger. For 3-OF-3 tap middle finger.

DEAR - SWEET.

Lyrics:

Day by day,
Day by day,
Oh Dear Lord,
Three things I pray:
To see thee more clearly,
Love thee more dearly,
Follow thee more nearly,
Day by day.
