Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #511 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Morning; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 We lift our hearts to Thee,
O Day-star from on high!
The sun itself is but Thy shade,
Yet cheers both earth and sky.
2 Oh, let Thy rising beams
The night of sin disperse,
The mists of error and of vice
Which shade the universe!
3 How beauteous nature now!
How dark and sad before!
With joy we view the pleasing change,
And nature’s God adore.
4 Oh, may no gloomy crime
Pollute the rising day;
Or Jesus’ blood, like evening dew,
Wash all our stains away.
5 To God, the Father, Son,
And Spirit, One in Three,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall for ever be. Languages: English
We lift our hearts to Thee
