In the joy of breaking dawn, In the gloom of waning day, In the rain or in the sun, Lord, my lips will give You praise. O the goodness of the Lord, Ever faithful, ever sure! When I cannot see Your face, Lord, I trust Your love and grace. In the valley of despair, Bound in shame by guilt within, There is One Who meets me there: He Who paid for all my sin. O the mercy of the Lord- You forgive and You restore. Though my sins may hide Your face, I am drawn by love and grace. In the twilight of my day, Looking back on all that's done, You were with me all the way; And You'll take me safely home. O the comfort of the Lord- To be with You evermore! There I'll see upon Your face Everlasting love and grace. In the joy of breaking dawn, In the valley of despair, In the twilight of my day, Lord, I trust Your love and grace.
