23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. 24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him? 26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him? 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.(KJV)

1. Christ, whose glory fills the skies, 
Thou, the true, the only Light, 
Sun of Righteousness, arise, 
Triumph o’er the shades of night. 
Dayspring from on high, be near; 
Day-star, in my heart appear. 

2. Dark and cheerless is the morn 
Unaccompanied by Thee; 
Joyless is the day’s return 
Till Thy mercy’s beams I see, 
Till they inward light impart, 
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 

3. Visit, then, this soul of mine, 
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief; 
Fill me, Radiancy Divine, 
Scatter all my unbelief. 
More and more Thyself display, 
Shining to the perfect day.
