Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolk Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Light of light, enlighten me,
Now anew the day is dawning;
Sun of grace, the shadows flee;
Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning;
With Thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy is my day of rest.
2 Let me with my heart today,
Holy, holy, holy, singing,
Rapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to Thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven.
3 Hence all care, all vanity!
For the day to God is holy;
Come, Thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Nought today my soul shall move,
Simply resting in Thy love.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; God Light; Lord's Day, The; Morning; Rest; Worship Lord's Day, The Used With Tune: HINCHMAN
