In twilight sky it gleams afar; The reign of night is ended. Creation stirs to hail the light Whose glories now with radiance bright Stream forth in beauty splendid. Both far and near All things living Thanks are giving, Praise outpouring, Earth and sky the Lord adoring. 2. Then haste, my soul, thy song to raise, Delay thou not thy Lord to praise, Bow down in adoration. For glory, Lord, to Thee belongs Thy praise resounds in grateful songs, Thou Lord of all creation. Let all recall Hymns of gladness Without sadness For Thy favor And Thy mercy never waver. 3. Tho' evil spirits thro' the night With hellish craft and watchful spite Came round me without number. Yet Thou, O Jesus, with Thy pow'r, Wast near me in that threat'ning hour. Didst guard me in my slumber. Praise be to Thee, My Contender And Defender, I'll adore Thee While on earth I walk before Thee. 4. Pour down Thy grace in cheering streams And warm my heart with mercy's beams From Heav'n, Thy throne of beauty; Thy Spirit ever lead and guide That in my calling I abide And find my joy in duty. Send light and might That each measure Plan and pleasure, Heav'n-ward tending, E'er in Thee may find its ending. 5. Keep grief, if this may be, away; If not, Thy will be done, I pray, My choice to Thine resigning. Then, O my heart, cast care aside, God through the cross His own hath tried; Bear loss without repining Hope still through ill To God cleaning, Grace receiving, We shall wonder At God's goodness here and yonder.
