Author: John Wesley Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #9 (1899) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We lift our hearts to Thee,
O Day-star from on high!
The sun itself is but Thy shade,
Yet cheers both earth and sky.
2 Oh, let Thy rising beams
The night of sin disperse,
The mists of error and of vice
Which shade the universe.
3 How beauteous nature now!
How dark and sad before!
With joy we view the pleasing change,
And nature’s God adore.
4 Oh, may no gloomy crime
Pollute the rising day;
May Jesus’ blood, like morning dew,
Wash all our stains away.
5 To God, the Father, Son,
And Spirit, One in Three,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall for ever be.
Amen. Topics: Christ Day-star; God Light; Morning Languages: English Tune Title: HEMINGFORD
