Representative Text

1. Thou art fairer than the morning,
O my Savior and my King!
Of Thy grandeur and Thy beauty,
How my soul delights to sing.

Refrain
Thou art fairer than the morning,
Thou art brighter, brighter than the day;
At the glory of Thy presence
Clouds and darkness flee away.

2. Clothed in light as with a garment,
Crowned with majesty divine,
Lo, the scepter of dominion
Now and ever, Lord, is Thine. [Refrain]

3. Oh, the greatness of Thy mercy,
And the richness of Thy grace!
Oh, the love that in Thy kingdom
Is preparing me a place! [Refrain]

4. When the silver cord is broken,
And this mortal life is o’er,
With ten thousand times ten thousand,
I shall sing for evermore. [Refrain]
