814 - O'er the Silent Waters (a cappella)

Hymn 814 from the Liturgy for the use of The General Church of the New Jerusalem (2005).
version: a cappella
Music source unknown.
Words are based on Genesis 1:2-3
O'er the silent waters, through the depths of night,
Came the loving mandate, "Now let there be light."
Through the rosy pathway of the morning bright,
With a gentle coming floats the tender light.
Father, for the dawning, grateful thanks we raise;
For Thy countless blessings, songs of joyous praise.
Let a light far brighter than the sunbeam's ray
Gild our lives with glory 'till the perfect day.
