564   For Sunrise Hope and Sunset Calm




[1]
For sunrise hope and sunset calm
And all that lies between
For all the sweetness and the balm
That is and that has been
For comradeship for peace in strife
And light on darkened days;
For work to do and strength for life
We sing our hymn of praise.

[2]
But O we press far far above
These gifts of pure delight
And find in Thee and in Thy love contentment infinite.
O Lord beloved in whom are found
All joys of time and place
What will it be when joy is crowned
By vision of Thy face?
