Author: J. H. Newman Appears in 105 hymnals First Line: Now that the sun is gleaming bright Lyrics: 1 Now that the sun is gleaming bright,
Implore we, bending low,
That he, the uncreated Light,
May guide us as we go.
2 No sinful word, nor deed of wrong,
Nor thoughts that idly rove;
But simple truth be on our tongue,
And in our hearts be love.
3 And while the hours in order flow,
O Christ, securely fence
Our gates, beleaguered by the foe,
The gate of every sense.
4 And grant that to thine honor, Lord,
Our daily toil may tend;
That we begin it at thy word,
And in thy favor end.
5 Now to our God, the Father, Son,
And Holy Spirit, sing:
With praise to God, the Three in One,
Let all creation ring. Topics: Opening of Service Used With Tune: WINCHESTER, OLD
