Hymn 287

From The Christian Science Hymnal, 1932 edition

---

Prayer with our waking thought ascends,
Great God of light, to Thee;
Darkness is banished in the glow
Of Thy reality.

Lo, to our widening vision dawns
The realm of Soul supreme,
Faith-lighted peaks of Spirit stand
Revealed in morning’s beam.

Thus in Thy radiance vanishes
Death’s drear and gloomy night;
Thus all creation hears anew
Truth’s call, Let there be light.
