Psalms 18:28-29

• [Psa 18:28] O God, Before Thy Sun’s Bright Beams

  O God, before Thy sun’s bright beams All night’s dark shadows fly; So on the soul Thy mercy gleams, And doubts and terrors die. So freshly falls Thy heaven sent grace As morning’s gladdening breath; Gives light to all to seek Thy face, And guides in life and death. O holy light! O light of God! O light unseen below, Which fills the courts of Thine abode, Which there the blest shall know! Swift comes the hour when none can toil, Short is the rugged way: Teach us our lamps to fill with oil, Whilst it is called today. Then we shall see that glorious light Which to the saints is given, So sweet, so fair, so passing bright, The eternal morn of heaven. O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, O holy One in Three, Grant us, with all Thy glorious host, To share that morn with Thee.

• [Psa 18:28] Softly Now The Light Of Day

  Softly now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. Thou, whose all pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin. Soon for me the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. Thou Who, sinless, yet hast known All of man’s infirmity; Then, from Thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.
