Text: | The radiant morn hath passed away |
Author: | Godfrey Thring |
Tune: | ST. GABRIEL |
Composer: | F. A. Gore Ouseley |
1 The radiant morn hath passed away,
And spent too soon her golden store;
The shadows of departing day
Creep on once more.
2 Our life is but an autumn sun,
Its glorious noon, how quickly past;
Lead us, O Christ, our lifework done,
Safe home at last.
3 O by Thy soul-inspiring grace,
Uplift our hearts to realms on high;
Help us to look to that bright place
Beyond the sky,
4 Where light, and life, and joy, and peace
In undivided empire reign,
And thronging angels never cease
Their deathless strain;
5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white.
And evening shadows never fall,
Where Thou, eternal Light of Light,
Art Lord of all.
Amen.
