Dayspring of Eternity

Verse 1

Dayspring of Eternity, Brightness of the Father's glory, Dawn on us that we may see Clouds and darkness flee before Thee; Drive afar, with conquering might, All our night.

Verse 2

As the soft, refreshing dew Falls upon the drooping flower, So our fainting hearts renew By Thy Spirit's quickening power; Ne'er Thy bounteous grace withhold From Thy fold.

Verse 3

Let the glow of Thy pure love All our icy coldness banish; In the radiance from above May our doubts and fears all vanish, That ere dying we may be Found in Thee.

Verse 4

Light us to the golden shore, O Thou rising Sun of morning! Lead where tears shall flow no more, Where all sighs to songs are turning, Where Thy glory sheds alway Perfect day.

Verse 5

Amen.
