The Day You Gave Us, God, Is Ended

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 294 hymnals Topics: Sun Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, God, is ended, the sun is sinking in the west; to you our morning hymns ascended, your praise shall sanctify our rest. 2 We thank you that your church unsleeping, while earth rolls onward into light, through all the world a watch is keeping and rests not now by day or night. 3 As o'er each continent and island the dawn leads on another day, the voice of prayer is never silent, nor dies the strain of praise away. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking your church beneath the western sky, and hour by hour fresh lips are making your wondrous doings heard on high. 5 So be it, God! Your throne shall never, like earth's proud empires, pass away; your rule remains and grows forever, until there dawns that glorious day. Used With Tune: ST CLEMENT

Fairest of all the lights above

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Sun, Moon, and Stars, praise the Lord Lyrics: 1 Fairest of all the lights above, Thou sun, whose beams adorn the spheres, And with unwearied swiftness move, To form the circles of our years; 2 Praise the Creator of the skies, That dress'd thine orb in golden rays: Or let the sun forget to rise, If he forget his Maker's praise! 3 Thou reigning beauty of the night, Fair queen of silence, silver moon, Whose gentle beams, and borrow'd light, Are softer rivals of the moon; 4 Arise, and to that sovereign Power Waxing and waning honours pay, Who bade thee rule the dusky hour, And half supply the absent day! 5 Ye twinkling stars that gild the skies, When darkness has its curtain drawn, That keep your watch with wakeful eyes, When business, cares, and day, are gone; 6 Proclaim the glories of your Lord, Dispers'd through all the heavenly street, Whose boundless treasures can afford, So rich a pavement for his feet! 7 O God of glory, God of love, Thou art the sun that makes our days; With all thy shining works above Let man attempt to speak thy praise!

Jesus, Sun of Righteousness

Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Christ the Sun of Righteousness; Sun of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Sun of Righteousness, Brightest beam of love divine, With the early morning rays Do Thou on our darkness shine, And dispel, with purest light, All our long and gloomy night! 2 Like the sun's reviving ray, May Thy love, with tender glow, All our coldness melt away, Warm, and cheer us forth to go, Gladly serve Thee, and obey All our life's short earthly day! 3 Thou our only hope and guide! Never leave us nor forsake: In Thy light may we abide Till the endless morning break; Moving on to Zion's hill, Onward, upward, homeward still!
