Representative Text

1 Upward, through the mists of morning,
Ere the day dawns clear and bright,
All my thoughts to Thee are turning,
Great Creator of the light.

Refrain:
Looking, looking unto Thee,
God and Father over all;
Let Thy light supremely bright,
O’er my pathway fall.

2 When the heat of noontide quickens
Hill and vale, and restless sea;
In the brightness of Thy glory,
I am still discerning Thee. [Refrain]

3 In the hush of night I know Thee,
In the dim and silent place,
While the all-prevailing shadows
Gather darkly o’er its space. [Refrain]

4 Thee, at morning, noon or evening,
Shining clear, and e’er so bright;
Thee, my grateful soul discerneth,
God of gods and Light of light. [Refrain]
