Come, O Lord, Like Morning Sunlight

Come

O Lord

like morn­ing sun­light

Making all life new and free;

For the dai­ly task and chal­lenge

May we rise re­newed in Thee.

Come

O Lord

like ocean flood-tides

Flowing in­land from the sea;

As the wa­ters fill the shal­lows

May our souls be filled with Thee.

Come

O Lord

like mount­ain breez­es

Freshening life in vale and lea;

In the heat and stress of du­ty

May our souls find strength in Thee.

Come

O Lord

like ev­en­ing twi­light

Bringing peace on land and sea;

At the ra­di­ant close of la­bor

May our souls find rest in Thee.
