We thank you for your gifts of light;
As in the dawn the shadows fly,
We seem to find you now more nigh.
2 Fresh hopes have wakened in our heart,
Fresh zeal to do our daily part;
In peaceful sleep our strength restore,
Throughout the day to serve you more.
3 O Lord of light, your love alone
Can make our human hearts your own;
Be ever with us, Lord, that we
Your blessed face one day may see.
4 Praise God, our maker and our friend;
Praise God through time, till time shall end;
Till psalm and song one name adore,
Through heav'n’s great day of evermore. Used With Tune: FULDA (Walton) Text Sources: Sir Ray Palmer's Book of Praise, 1862, alt.
