Verse 2
Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 2/3
Verse 3
Visit then this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day. 3/3

497 Have A Good Night
Verse 1
Day is over, darkness hovers,
Shadows fall, and the sun withdraws its light.
But the Master is still near,
And will guide and guard us through the night.
Darkness we will never fear,
God we trust and we feel his presence near. So
sleep tight, through the night, pleasant dreams,
and good night. 1/2
Verse 2
Evil forces run their courses, Satan now is
preparing for his task; vandals prowling, killers
loose,
Why this wicked world? we sometimes ask.
But these things we will not fear,
God we trust and we feel his presence near;
So sleep tight, through the night,
Pleasant dreams, and good night. 2/2
