 Souls of king and slave Only by thy Name.

Light not born with morn Or her fires above, Jesus virgin-born, Held of men in scorn, Turn their scorn to love.

Thou whose face gives grace As the sun's doth heat, Let thy sunbright face Lighten time and space Here beneath thy feet.

Bid our peace increase, Thou that madest morn; Bid oppressions cease; Bid the night be peace; Bid the day be born.

whose days and ways All the night makes dark, What day shall we praise
