Sheds on our path the glow of day;

Cheers the long watches of the night

Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn;
Our rainbow arch Thy mercy s sign;
All save the clouds of sin are Thine
All save the clouds of sin are Thine.

Whose light is truth whose warmth is love
Before Thy everblazing throne
We ask no luster of our own

Grant us Thy truth to make us free
And kindling hearts that burn for Thee;
Till all Thy living altars claim
One holy light one heavenly flame!
One holy light one heavenly flame.
