THE LIGHT OF LIFE

O Light of Life, shine thou

Into my soul as doth the Sun of Day

Into the world for seeing with mine eyes!

Reveal the good and evil—teach me how

To stumble not but walk the Living Way

That fills earth with the glory of the skies!

Let there be spirit-quickenings

That thrill the being to responsiveness

Lest vision be but human, uninspired!

Ah, make it throb until from vision springs

Anointed nature to in life express

The Grace which makes the Heavenly desired!
