EN 2040 Sweet Is the Sunlight After Rain

Eccl.11.7

Versi Version 1

1

Sweet is the sunlight after rain,

And sweet the sleep which follows pain;

And sweetly steals the Sabbath rest

Upon the world’s work-wearied breast.

2

Of Heaven the sign, of earth, the calm;

The poor man’s birthright and his balm;

God’s witness of celestial thing;

A sun with healing in its wings.

3

New rising in this gospel time,

And in its sevenfold light sublime,

Blest day of God! we hail its dawn,

To gratitude and worship drawn.

4

O naught of gloom and naught of pride

Should with the sacred hours abide;

At work for God, in loved employ,

We lose the duty in the joy.

5

Breathe on us, Lord! our sins forgive,

And make us strong in faith to live;

Our utmost, sorest need supply,

And make us strong in faith to die.
