The Sun with loving light  
Makes bright for me each day; 
The soul with spirit power 
Gives strength unto my limbs; 
In sunlight shining clear 
I reverence, O God,   
The strength of humankind,  
That thou so graciously 
Hast planted in my soul, 
That I with all my might 
May love to work and learn.  
From Thee come light and strength, 
To Thee rise love and thanks.
