Shine Thou upon us, Lord,
|
|
| 1. | Shine Thou upon us, Lord, |
| | True Light of men, today, |
| | And through the written Word |
| | Thy very self display; |
| | That so from hearts which burn |
| | With gazing on Thy face, |
| | Thy little ones may learn |
| | The wonders of Thy grace. |
| 2. | Breath Thou upon us, Lord, |
| | Thy Spirit's living flame, |
| | That so with one accord |
| | Our lips may tell Thy name; |
| | Give Thou the hearing ear, |
| | Fix Thou the wandering thought, |
| | That those we teach may hear |
| | The great things Thou has wrought. |
| 3. | Speak Thou for us, O Lord, |
| | In all we say of Thee; |
| | According to Thy Word |
| | Let all our teaching be; |
| | That so Thy lambs may know |
| | Their own true Shepherd's voice, |
| | Where'er He lead them go, |
| | And in His love rejoice. |
| 4. | Live Thou within us, Lord; |
| | Thy mind and will be ours; |
| | Be Thou beloved, adored, |
| | And served with all our powers; |
| | That so our lives may teach |
| | Thy children what Thou art, |
| | And plead, by more than speech, |
| | For Thee with every heart. |
