The Sun Rises... The Sun Sets

 

The sun rises, the sun sets,

And the hours between are all God-blest...

The dawn afresh with sparkling dew,

A time to start our lives anew...

And the sun rises, the sun sets.

 

The sun rises, the sun sets,

And the hours between are all God's best...

High non, when in the heavens we see

Peak brightness of infinity...

And the sun rises, the sun sets.

 

The sun rises, the sun sets,

And the hours between have gone to rest.

The morning dew's now evening haze,

A quiet time to give God praise...

And the sun rises, the sun sets.
