LO! FROM THE EASTERN SKY.
Lo! from the eastern sky
Bright morn is breaking,
Songs sweetly float on high
Love's spirit waking:
Welcome this hour of praise,
Love and light blending;
Music with heaven's rays
Prayer-like ascending!
Bright morn is breaking,
Songs sweetly float on high
Love's spirit waking:
Welcome this hour of praise,
Love and light blending;
Music with heaven's rays
Prayer-like ascending!
Earth hath immortal wings
Hopefully given—
Guiding each thought that springs
Fondly to heaven:—
Blest be the streams that rove,
Fountain and river;
Nature's own voice of love
Singing for ever.
