Dayspring in Darkness

"The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day" (Proverbs 4:18). "The Dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace" (Luke 1:78,79).

Welcome, Dayspring from on high!
Shine Your light upon our path.
Guide our feet as days go by
In Your peace that saves from wrath.

Thank you, Dayspring, for your light.
When You came, the darkness fled.
You expelled our fearful night,
When You rose up from the dead.

Now Your light shines more and more,
Dayspring, on Your path of love.
Oh what light is yet in store
When we see Your face above!
