The sun is on the land and sea,

by Louis F. Benson

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 45 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

The sun is on the land and sea, The day begun; Our morning hymn begins with Thee, Blest Three in One: Our praise shall rise continually Till day is done.

Verse 2

Thy love was ever in our view, Like stars, by night; Thy gifts are ev'ry morning new, O God of light; Thy mercy, like the heavens' blue, Fills all our sight.

Verse 3

We do not know what grief or care The day may bring: The heart shall find some gladness there That loves its King; The life that serves Thee ev'rywhere Can always sing.

Verse 4

All glory to the Father be, With Christ the Son, And, Holy Spirit, unto Thee, Forever One; All glory to the Trinity While ages run.
