"The dayspring from on high hath visited us.”—St. Luke i. 78.

F I CHRIST whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in our hearts appear!

2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day's return
Till Thy mercy's beams we see :
Till they inward light impart,
Glad our eyes and warm our heart.

3 Visit every soul of Thine,

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill us, Radiancy divine,
Scatter all our unbelief;
More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.

F 4 Glory, Father, be to Thee;
Glory to the Blessed Son;
Glory to the Spirit be;
Glory to the Three in One ;
As it was, is now, shall be,
Filling all eternity. Amen.

DAYSPRING.

"I am the bright and morning star."-Rev. xxii. 16.

I DAYSPRING of Eternity,
Brightness of the Light divine,
As the daylight fills the sky,
Let Thy beams upon us shine,
Scattering with their glorious might
All our night.

2 As on drooping herb and flower
Lies the soft refreshing dew,
Let Thy Spirit's freshening power
Dry and fainting hearts renew;
Showers of blessing over all
Softly fall.

cres.

3 Let Thy fire of love destroy
All our earthly taint and leaven;
Wake our souls to love and joy,
Kindling like the eastern heaven :
Let us truly rise ere yet

Life hath set.

4 Dayspring of eternal skies,

Grant that on Thine Advent-morn,
From the dust our flesh may rise
To a nobler being born,
Strong in heaven its course to run
As the sun.

5 Sorrowing here we seek Thy face;
Guide us with Thy cheering ray:
Lead us, glorious Sun of grace,
f To the land of endless day,
f Where the joy that bids us rise
Never dies. Amen.

"I will go forth in the strength of the Lord God."-Ps. lxxi. 16.

I FORTH in Thy Name, O Lord, we go,
Our daily labour to pursue ;
Thee, only Thee, resolved to know,
In all we think, or speak, or do.

2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned
O let us cheerfully fulfil ;

In all our works Thy presence find, And prove Thy good and perfect will. 3 Thee may we set at our right hand, Whose eyes our inmost substance see,

NICEA.

And labour on at Thy command,
And offer all our works to Thee.

4 Give us to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious day.

5 For Thee delightfully employ [given,
Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath
And run our course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to heaven.
Amen.
