Once more the sun is beaming bright
Once more to God I pray
That His eternal light will guide
And cheer my soul this day
And cheer my soul this day

I need Your presence every passing hour
For what else but Your light can
Diminish darkness' power
Who but my Lord will be faithful be
Through cloud and sunshine
To stay with me
Through cloud and sunshine
To stay with me
(You're the fire in the changing leaves, the fire in the changing leaves)

Reveal Yourself before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom
And point me to the skies
Where heaven's morning breaks
And darkness flees
Stay with me

When life's old day is passed
I'll rest with you in heaven at last
