Light of the world, shine on our souls
1
Light of the world, shine on our souls;Thy grace to us afford;And while we meet to learn thy truth,Be thou our teacher, Lord.
2
As once thou didst thy word expoundTo those that walked with thee,So teach us, Lord, to understand,And its blest fullness see;
3
Its richness, sweetness, power, and depth,Its holiness discern;Its joyful news of saving graceBy blest experience learn.
4
Thus may thy word be dearer still,And studied more each day;And as it richly dwells within,Thyself in it display.
