Lord of my life, thy quickening ray

1Lord of my life, thy quickening ray
Sheds on my path the glow of day;
Star of my hope, thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.

2Sun of my life, thy quickening ray
Sheds on my path the glow of day;
Star of my hope, thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.

3Our midnight is thy gracious dawn,
Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine!
