For sun-rise hope and sun-set calm,

And all  that lies  be-tween,

    Em7 A   D         Em7 A   D
For all the sweetness and the balm

That is   and that  has been,

D   A       Bm7  E   A        Bm7
For comrade-ship for peace in strife,

E   A        Bm7  E7   A A7 D
And light on dark-ened days;

For work to do  and strength for life

[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
For sunrise hope and sunset calm, and all that lies between,
For all the sweetness and the balm that is and that has been,
For comradeship for peace in strife, and light on darkened days;
For work to do and strength for life we sing our hymn of praise.

[Verse 2]
But O, we press far, far above these gifts of pure delight,
And find in Thee, and in Thy love contentment infinite.
O Lord, beloved, in whom are found all joys of time and place,
What will it be when joy is crowned by vision of Thy face?
