1.
When o'er the distant Eastern Hills,
The rays of morn appear
And swift the rising glory fills
Earth's vast yet narrow'd sphere;
We thank Thee, for the light and day,
And for Earth's varied store;
We thank Thee, Lord, in ev'ry way,
And still Thy name adore!
And still Thy name adore!

2.
When in the west the light fades out,
And darkness rests on all
When silence circles all about,
And
