Life's Orient Morn Lyrics

Life's orient morn hath passed away
Hushed all the clamorous cares of day

Jesus, my light of life, draw near
Shine on my darkness, chase each fear
Stand by me in life's closing fight
And cheering say, I am thy light

Life's western portal opes for me
Death's darkening valley near I see
This promise meets my dimming sight
At evening time it shall be light

Through twilight calm soft steals one chime
It shall be light at evening time

Washed in Thy precious blood alone
Arrayed in righteousness Thine own
From evening time I pass away
To Heaven's eternal shadeless day

Jesus, my light of life, draw near
Shine on my darkness, chase each fear
Stand by me in life's closing fight
And cheering say, I am thy light
