HYMN NO. 381

1 LIGHT of the lonely pilgrim’s heart,
The star of the coming day,
Arise, and with thy morning beams
Chase all our griefs away.

2 Come, blessèd Lord, bid every shore
And answering island sing
The praises of thy royal name,
And own thee as their king.

3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now
To that bright world above,
Break forth in rapturous strains of joy
In memory of thy love.

4 Lord, Lord, thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,
In unison with all our hearts,
And calls aloud for thee.

5 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits
Of grace and peace divine;
And thine the crown of glory now,
The palm of victory thine
