Zion's Harp ‎#48

48. Once again a night has vanished

1 Once again a night has vanished, And the rising sun so bright, Through its radiance fair has banished Gloom and darkness of the night. 2 We, Thy children, come ascending, Loving Father, to Thy throne, Thanks and praise to bring before Thee, Thee the Father, Thee the Son. 3 In this night of dread and darkness Thou hast cared with watchful eye; Thou hast given joyful vision Of the light that draweth nigh. 4 God, for Thy great love and mercy Thy redeemed Thy praises bring; Whom throughout the night just ended Hast protected with Thy wing. 5 May we find this day as ever, Lord, Thy kind and loving face. Vice and sin, Oh may they never Mar the joy of Thy rich grace! 6 Comfort, peace and joy be given Through Thy Holy Spirit, Lord; May our hearts by it be driven In Thy ways with one accord. 7 When we seek Thee, let us find Thee; May our pleading voice be blest; In our midst Thy light be kindled; May our souls find peaceful rest. 8 Let Thy word in life and Spirit To our eyes and hearts be shown; Light and truth give all who hear it Who with joy Thy ways have gone. 9 Thy supporting spirit send us; Thy sweet peace and love bestow; Sanctify our heart and spirit, And Thy Spirit’s impulse show. 10 Let Thy love our hearts inspire That we love Thee fervently; Let Thy cov’nant bind us nearer; Lead our conflict valiantly. 11 Ev’ry day, O Lord, we pray Thee, Let Thy blessing on us flow; May our hearts with peace and gladness Ever by Thy radiance glow.
