Sheet music
- 1Lord of all being, throned afar,Thy glory flames from sun and star;Center and soul of ev’ry sphere,Yet to each loving heart how near!Sun of our life, Thy quick’ning ray,Sheds on our path the glow of day;Star of our hope, Thy softened lightCheers the long watches of the night.
- 2Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn;Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn;Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy’s sign;All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.
