But for me His blood was spilt,
And Thy grace, all sin exceeding,
Lends forgiveness at His pleading.
O Thou Light, with brightness filling
Ev’ry true and pious soul,
Into me Thy grace instilling,
Make my troubled spirit whole.
Deign this night to stay with me,
And let me abide in Thee,
That, while darkness may enthrall me,
