Give light, O Lord, that we may learn The way that leads to Thee, That where our hearts true joy discern, Our life may be. Give light, O Lord, that we may know Thy one unchanging truth, And follow, all our days below, Our Guide in youth. Give light, O Lord, that we may see Where wisdom bids beware, And turn our doubting minds to Thee, In faithful prayer. Give light, O Lord, that we may look Beneath, around, above, And learn from nature’s living book Thy power and love. Give light, O Lord, that we may read All signs that Thou art near, And, while we live, in word and deed Thy Name revere. Give light, O Lord, that we may trace In trial, pain, and loss In poorest lot, and lowest place, A Savior’s cross. Give light, O Lord, that we may see A home beyond the sky, Where all who live in Christ with Thee Shall never die. |
