Lord of all being, throned afar
Thy glory flames from sun and star
Center and soul of every sphere
Yet to each loving heart how near!
Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day
Star of our hope, Thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night
Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn
Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn
Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign
All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine
| |
Lord of all life, below, above
Whose light is truth, Whose warmth is love
Before Thy ever blazing throne
We ask no luster of our own
Grant us Thy truth to make us free
And kindling hearts that burn for Thee
Till all Thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame
