There is no change in Thee; | |||
True Light of Life, all joy and health enshrining, | |||
Thou canst not fade nor flee. | |||
{{Vs|2}} Thou hast arisen, but Thou descendest never; | |||
Today shines as the past; | |||
All that Thou wast Thou art, and shalt be ever, | |||
Brightness from first to last. | |||

{{Vs|3}} Night visits not Thy sky, nor storm, nor sadness; | |||
Day fills up all its blue, | |||
Unfailing beauty, and unfaltering gladness, | |||
And love for ever new. | |||
{{Vs|4}} Light of the world, undimming and unsetting! | |||
O shine each mist away; | |||
Banish the fear, the falsehood, and the fretting; | |||
Be our unchanging Day. | |||
