395. Give light, O Lord, that we may learn

1 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.

2 Give light, O Lord, that we may know
thy one unchanging truth,
and follow, all our days below,
our Guide in youth.

3 Give light, O Lord, that we may see
where wisdom bids beware,
and turn our doubting minds to thee,
in faithful prayer.

4 Give light, O Lord, that we may look
beneath, around, above,
and learn from nature’s living book
thy power and love.

5 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.

6 Give light, O Lord, that we may trace
in trial, pain, and loss
in poorest lot, and lowest place,
a Saviour’s cross.

7 Give light, O Lord, that we may see
a home beyond the sky,
where all who live in Christ with thee
shall never die.
