Love Supreme
 (Sung text for setting by C. Coombs)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
The night is far spent, the morning lights appear;
In glorious splendor the radiance of day draws near.
From dreams we wake to life; the light burns clear,
Love lights the day - Love supreme.

Majestic in flight the sun climbs heaven high,
Dispelling the darkness that veil'd the sky.
From fears we wake to light; new hope draws nigh;
Love rules the world - Love supreme.

With mighty wings outspread the eagle in his flight
Is bearing onward the tidings of Freedom's light.
Victorious hosts are rising, a cry rings thro' the night:
Love conquers Death - Love supreme.

    Set to music by Charles Whitney Coombs (1859 - 1940), "Love Supreme"
