Light and Life immortal! Hear us as we raise Hearts, as well as voices, Mingling prayer and praise. 481 When the sun ariseth In a cloudless sky, May we feel thy presence, Holy Spirit, nigh; Shed thy radiance o'er us, Keep it cloudless still, Through the day before us, Perfecting thy will. When the fight is fiercest In the noontide heat, Bear us, Holy Spirit, To our Savior's feet; There to find a refuge Till our work is done, There to fight the battle Till the battle's won. If the day be falling Sadly as it goes, Slowly in its sadness Sinking to its close, May thy love in mercy, Kindling, ere it die, Cast a ray of glory O'er our evening sky. Morning, noon, and evening, Whensoe'er it be, Grant us, gracious Spirit, Quickening life in thee: Life that gives us, living, Life of heavenly love, Life that brings us, dying, Life from heaven above. 482 Amen.
