Lyrics

Bring, O morn, thy music! Night, thy starlit silence!

Oceans, laugh in rapture to the storm-winds coursing free!

Suns and planets chorus, praise to Thee, Most Holy -

Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

​

Life and death, thy creatures, praise thee, mighty Giver!

Praise and prayer are rising in thy beast and bird and tree:

Lo! they praise and vanish, vanish at thy bidding -

Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.

​

Life nor death can part us, O thou Love eternal,

Shepherd of the wandering star and souls that wayward flee!

Homeward draws the spirit to thy Spirit yearning -

Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.
