Eternal Light’s co-eval Beam;
Be Christ in me, and I in Him,
Till perfect we are made in one.
Let earth no more my heart divide,
With Christ may I be crucified,
To Thee with my whole soul aspire;
Dead to the world and all its toys,
Its idle pomp, and fading joys,
Be thou alone my one desire!
Be Thou my joy, be Thou my dread;
