Verse 1

LIGHT of Light, enlighten me, Now anew the day is dawning; Sun of grace, the shadows flee, Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning; With Thy joyous sunshine blest, Happy is my day of rest!

Verse 2

Fount of all our joy and peace, To Thy living waters lead me; Thou from earth my soul release, And with grace and mercy feed me; Bless Thy word, that it may prove Rich in fruits that Thou dost love.

Verse 3

Kindle Thou the sacrifice That upon my lips is lying; Clear the shadows from my eyes, That, from every error flying, No strange fire may in me glow That Thine altar doth not know.

Verse 4

Let me with my heart to-day, Holy, holy, holy singing, Rapt awhile from earth away, All my soul to Thee upbringing, Have a foretaste inly given How they worship Thee in heaven.

Verse 5

Rest in me, and I in Thee, Build a paradise within me; O reveal Thyself to me, Blessèd Love, who diedst to win me; Fed from Thine exhaustless urn, Pure and bright my lamp shall burn.

Verse 6

Hence all care, all vanity, For the day to God is holy; Come, Thou glorious majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Naught today my soul shall move Simply resting in Thy love.
