Dayspring of Eternity,

Light from endless Light proceeding,

Let Thy beams upon us shine

As the shadows are receding;

And dispel by Thy great might

Our dark night.

As the soft refreshing dew

Falls upon the drooping flower,

So our fainting hearts renew

By Thy Spirit’s quickening power;

Ne’er Thy bounteous grace withhold

From Thy fold.

Let the glow of Thy pure love

All our icy coldness banish;

In the radiance from above

May our doubts and fears all vanish,

That ere dying we may be

Found in Thee.

O Thou glorious Sun of grace,

May Thy light be ne’er denied us!

Till we reach the heavenly place

Shine upon our way to guide us,

That at last among the blest

We may rest.
