Verse 1

LIGHT of the world, thy beams I bless; On Thee, bright Sun of Righteousness, My faith has fixed its eye; Guided by Thee, through all I go, Nor fear the ruin spread below, For Thou art always nigh.

I rest in Thine almighty power; The name of Jesus is a tower, That hides my life above; Thou canst, Thou wilt my Helper be: My confidence is all in Thee, The faithful God of love.

Verse 4

Wherefore, in never-ceasing prayer, My soul to Thy continual care I faithfully commend ; Assured that Thou through life shalt save, And show Thyself beyond the grave My everlasting Friend.
