Author: Solomon W. Straub Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4318 First Line: Wide the gates of morning open Refrain First Line: O bless'd morning light Lyrics: 1. Wide the gates of morning open, Spreading far o’er land and sea, Softly, gently passing thro’ them Comes the morning light to me. Refrain O blessèd morning light; The Savior is that light; He says it today as He said it of old, I am the light of the world. 2. Blessèd are the beams of glory, Streaming thro’ the gates ajar, Where the love of ages dwelling, Shines upon us from afar. [Refrain] 3. So we wander, lone and helpless, Hoping for a better day; But we feel that God is near us, When we see the heav’nly ray. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Wide the gates of morning open]
