Author: J. R. Hopkins; Chr. K. Von Rosenroth Hymnal: Concordia #10 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Dayspring of eternity,
Brightness of the Father's glory,
Dawn on us that we may see
Clouds and darkness flee before Thee;
Drive afar, with conquering might,
All our night.
2 Let Thy grace, like morning dew,
Fall on hearts in Thee confiding;
Thy sweet comfort, ever new,
Fill our souls with strength abiding,
And Thy quick'ning eyes behold
Thy dear fold.
3 Give the flame of love, to burn
Till the bands of sin it breaketh,
Till, at each new day's return,
Purer light my soul awaketh:
O ere twilight come, let me
Rise to Thee.
4 Thou who hast gone up on high,
Grant that, when Thy trumpet soundeth,
When with glory, in the sky,
Thee Thy cloud of saints surroundeth,--
We may stand among Thine own,
Round Thy throne.
5 Light us to the golden shore,
O Thou rising Sun of morning!
Lead where tears shall flow no more,
Where all sighs to songs are turning,
Where Thy glory sheds alway
Perfect day. Topics: Opening Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: DAYSPRING
