564- For Sunrise Hope and Sunset Calm
Christian Life: Thankfulness
1
- For sunrise hope and sunset calm,
- And all that lies between,
- For all the sweetness and the balm
- That is and that has been,
- For comradeship, for peace in strife,
- And light on darkened days;
- For work to do and strength for life
- We sing our hymn of praise.
2
- But O, we press far, far above
- These gifts of pure delight,
- And find in Thee, and in Thy love contentment infinite.
- O Lord, beloved, in whom are found
- All joys of time and place,
- What will it be when joy is crowned
- By vision of Thy face?
