Tune: Laudes Domini
('When morning gilds the skies')
***********
Jesus, you be the Light
Of the world, banish night
You reveal to our sight
Your plan of salvation
For folk of each nation
Whate'er class or station
If natural light be less
Yet you do still us bless
Your goodness we confess
Equinox and solstice
The year's cycles is this
Help us not waste or miss
Not miss times to serve you
In things done, old or new
And give you praises due
Growing in Christ-likeness
In love, in humbleness
You Son of God no less
Light revealed, show the way
For us to take each day
May we continue, pray
Path ever shining bright
Unto land of delight
Where all is holy, right
