LyicsBright shines the moon on the mountain's brow;
Bright o'er the wavy sea she gleams
Bright shines the moon but brighter Thou,
Who cloth'st the moon with all her beams!
O! shine on me, thou Holy One;
With healing on thy wings arise,
And bid the night of grief begone,
And dry the tear drops from mine eyes.
I cannot, will not, comfort find,
When thou dost hide thyself afar.
Come, Savior, come, thyself reveal;
Rise, day spring, rise, my morning Star.
Rise on this cheerless heart of mine,
And let me now thy glory see;
And bid me rise, and bid me shine,
The child of happiness and thee.
