Day of Life

Day of Life

all sor­rows end­ing

Day when death it­self will die

All the veil of dark­ness rend­ing

On the mount­ain

on the sky:

Travailed for in all cre­ation

Light shall now no more de­lay

Crowning pray­er with swift sal­va­tion

Wiping ev­ery tear away.

O what bliss­ful joy’s en­dear­ing

Hearts so wea­ry and so sore

Those who loved His first ap­pear­ing

Now to see and love Him more!

O what rap­ture

O what plea­sure

Now no world­ly joys to love;

O what sor­row

now no trea­sure

There to find amassed ab­ove!
