Dawn purples all the east with light

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dawn purples all the east with light; Day o'er the earth is gliding bright; Morn's sparkling rays their course begin; Farewell to darkness and to sin! 2 Each evil dream of night, depart, Each thought of guilt, forsake the heart! Let every ill that darkness brought Beneath its shade, now come to naught! 3 So that last morning, dread and great, Which we with trembling hope await, With blesséd light for us shall glow, Who chant the song we learnt below. 4 O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son; who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Shall live and reign eternally.
