Verse 1

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!

Verse 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.

Verse 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Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn; Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn; Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign; All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine, All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
