Lord God of morning and of night
Francis Turner Palgrave (1862) • English
Primary Scripture: Genesis 1:3
Verse 1
Lord God of morning and of night, We thank you for your gifts of light; As in the dawn the shadows fly, We seem to find you now more nigh.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
