Lord of all being throned afar

- Lord of all being, throned afar,
- Thy glory flames from sun and star;
- centre and soul of every sphere,
- yet to each loving heart how near.
- Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray
- sheds on our path the glow of day;
- Star of our hope, Thy softened light
- cheers the long watches of the night.
- Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn,
- our noontide is Thy gracious dawn,
- our rainbow arch Thy mercy‟s sign;
- all, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.
- Lord of all life, below, above,
- whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
- before Thy ever-blazing throne
- we ask no lustre of our own.
- Grant us Thy truth to make us free,
- and kindling hearts that burn for Thee,
- till all Thy living altars claim
- one holy light, one heavenly flame. ......
