Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart, Star of the coming day! Arise, and with Thy morning beams Chase all our griefs away! | Come, blesséd Lord! let every shore And answering island sing The praises of Thy royal name, And own Thee as their King. | Bid the whole earth, responsive now To the bright world above, Break forth in sweetest strains of joy In memory of Thy love. | JESUS! Thy fair creation groans, The air, the earth, the sea, In unison with all our hearts, And calls aloud for Thee. | Thine was the Cross, with all its fruits Of grace and peace divine: Be Thine the Crown of glory now, The palm of Victory, Thine! | |
