sun is on the land and sea

the sun is on the land and sea,
the day begun;
our morning hymn begins with thee,
blest three in one;
our praise shall rise continually
till day is done.

thy love was ever in our view,
like stars, by night;
thy gifts are every morning new,
o god of light;
thy mercy, like the heavens’ blue,
fills all our sight.

we do not know what grief or care
the day may bring;
the heart shall find some gladness there,
that loves its king;
the life that serves thee everywhere
can always sing.

all glory to the father be,
with christ the son,
and, holy spirit, unto thee,
forever one;
all glory to the trinity
while ages run!
