548 Dayspring of eternity,

1 Dayspring of eternity, Brightness of the Father's glory, Dawn on us that we may see Clouds and darkness flee before Thee; Drive afar, with conquering might, All our night. 2 Let Thy grace, like morning dew, Fall on hearts in Thee confiding; Thy sweet comfort, ever new, Fill our souls with strength abiding, And Thy quickening eye behold Thy dear fold. 3 Give the flame of love, to burn Till the bands of sin it breaketh, - Till, at each new day's return, Purer light my soul awaketh: O ere twilight come, let me Rise to Thee. 4 Thou who hast gone up on high, Grant that, when Thy trumpet soundeth, When with glory, in the sky, Thee Thy cloud of saints surroundeth, - We may stand among Thine own, Round Thy throne. 5 Light us to the golden shore, O Thou rising Sun of morning! Lead where tears shall flow no more, Where all sighs to songs are turning, Where Thy glory sheds alway Perfect day.
