Sunrise over the Wheat Field

Through love to light!

Oh wonderful the way

That leads from darkness

to the perfect day!

From darkness and

from sorrow of the night

To morning that comes singing o’er the sea.

Through love to light!

Through light, O God, to thee, 

Who art the love of love,

the eternal light of light!
