18. Beautiful Day

1 Beautiful day, lovely thy light;
Holy each ray, banishing night;
Cloudless the sky; peaceful my stay
Here in the sunlight of beautiful day.

Refrain:
Beautiful, beautiful day,
Evermore shine on my way;
Saviour, I pray, keep me alway
Safe in this beautiful day.

2 Beautiful day, calm was thy dawn;
Joyous the lay, blessed the morn,
When in my heart, over my way
First shone the noontide of beautiful day. [Refrain]

3 Beautiful day, perfectly bright;
Jesus alway, boundless delight,
Bliss all around, heaven by the way,
Shining in fulness, oh, beautiful day! [Refrain]

4 Beautiful day, haven of rest;
Ev’ry one may come and be blest;
Glory to God! naught can dismay;
Christ is the light of this beautiful day. [Refrain]
