But before my eyes they bring

Christ, of beauty Source and Spring.

2 When the morning paints the skies,

When the golden sunbeams rise,

Then my Savior's form I find

Brightly imaged on my mind.

3 When the day-beams pierce the night,

Oft I think on Jesus' light,--

Think,--how bright that light will be,

Shining through eternity.
