As by the light of opening day
From Oremus Hymnal
As by the light of opening day
the stars are all concealed,
so earthly treasures fade away
when Jesus is revealed.
Creatures no more divide my choice,
I bid them all depart;
his name, and love, and gracious voice
shall fix my roving heart.
Now, Lord, I would be thine alone,
and wholly live to thee;
yet worthless still myself I own,
thy worth is all my plea.
