| Text: | We lift our hearts to thee |
| Author: | John Wesley |
| Tune: | VESPER |
| Composer: | A. Chapin |
1 We lift our hearts to thee,
O Day-star from on high!
The sun itself is but thy shade,
Yet cheers both earth and sky.
2 O let thy rising beams
The night of sin disperse,
The mists of error and of vice
Which shade the universe.
3 How beauteous nature now!
How dark and sad before!
With joy we view the pleasing change,
And nature's God adore.
