1 Framer of the light, who from out the night,
The dawn of joyous day again dost bring,
On our darkened eyes, bid Thy bright beams rise;
Of endless glory teach us, Lord to sing.
2 By Thy mercy still spared our place to fill,
O Father, be it ours Thy name to bless;
Sheltered by Thy power, in each fleeting hour,
Thy children guide to paths of holiness.
3 Raised from death-like sleep, ever may we keep
Alive within us thoughts of that great day!
Grant the ready mind, give us grace to find,
The strait gate unto life—the narrow way.
4 Onward to the goal lead each striving soul,
Upheld by strength divine Thy grace supplies;
While it still is day, may we win our way
Towards the mark and our high calling’s prize.
