The day departs;
Our souls and hearts
Long for that better morrow,
When Christ shall set
His people free
From every care and sorrow.
The sunshine bright
Is lost in night;
O lord, Thyself unveiling.
Shine on our souls
with beams of love,
All darkness there dispelling.
The land above,
Of peace and love,
No earthly beams need brighten;
For all its borders Christ Himself
Doth with His glory lighten.
May we be there,
That joy to share,
Glad hallelujahs singing;
With all the ransomed evermore
Our joyful praises bringing.
Lord Jesus, Thou
Our refuge now,
Forsake Thy servants never;
Uphold and guide
that we may stand
Before Thy throne for ever.
