The light pours down from heaven,

And enters where it may;

The eyes of all earth’s children

Are cheered with one bright day.

So let the mind’s true sunshine

Be spread o’er earth as free,

And fill men’s waiting spirits,

As the waters fill the sea.

The soul can shed a glory

On every work well done;

As even things most lowly

Are radiant in the sun.

Then let each human spirit

Enjoy the vision bright;

The truth which comes from heaven

Shall spread like heaven’s own light;

Till earth becomes God’s temple;

And every human heart

Shall join in one great service,

Each happy in his part.
