Light of light, enlighten me,
Now
a new the day is dawning;
Sun
of grace, the shadows flee;
Brighten
Thou my Sabbath morning;
With
Thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy
is my day of rest.
2
Let
me with my heart today,
Holy,
holy, holy, singing,
Rapt
awhile from earth away,
All
my soul to Thee up springing,
Have
a foretaste inward given
How
they worship Thee in heaven.
3
Hence
all care, all vanity!
For
the day to God is Holy;
Come,
Thou glorious Majesty,
Deign
to fill this temple lowly
Nought
today my soul shall move,
Simply
resting in Thy love.
