Lord of all being, throned
afar,
Thy glory flames from sun
and star;
Center and soul of every
sphere
Yet to each loving heart
how near!
Yet to each loving heart
how near!
2
Sun of our life, Thy
quickening ray
Shed on our path the glow
of day;
Star of our hope, Thy
softened light
Cheers the long watches of
the night,
Cheers the long watches of
the night.
3
Our 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withdrawn;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,
All, save the clouds of
sin, are Thine.
4
Lord of all life, below,
above
Whose light is truth, whose
warmth is love,
Before Thy ever-blazing
throne
We ask no luster of our
own,
We ask no luster of our
own.
5
Grant us Thy truth to make
us free
And kindling hearts that
burn for Thee;
Till all Thy living altars
claim
One holy light, one
heavenly flame!
One holy light, one
heavenly flame.
