564. For Sunrise Hope and Sunset Calm

A   Bm7 E    A        Bm7 E   A
For sun-rise hope and sun-set calm,

    Dsus Bm7  Esus7 E  A Bm7 A
And all  that lies  be-tween,

    Bm7 E   A         Bm7 E   A
For all the sweetness and the balm

     Dsus Bm7 Esus7 E   A Bm7 A
That is   and that  has been,

A   E       F#m7 B   E        F#m7
For comrade-ship for peace in strife,

B   E        F#m7 B7   E E7 A
And light on dark-ened days;

E7  A       Bm7 E   A            Bm7
For work to do  and strength for life

E  A        Bm7  E  A
We sing our hymn of praise.


[[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?
