Lyrics

Light of all who come to Thee,
Let me now Thy glo­ry see,
Shining down with beams di­vine,
Making glad this heart of mine.

Refrain

Hear my call, oh, hear my call,
Thou my Life, my all in all;
By Thy hand up­hold me still,
With Thy love my spir­it fill.

Hope of all who trust in Thee,
Thou whose blood was shed for me,
Thro’ its heal­ing pow­er di­vine
Keep from sin this heart of mine.

Refrain

In Thy strength, and not my own,
This I ask be­fore Thy throne,
Blessèd Lord, my faith in­crease,
Keep my soul in per­fect peace.

Refrain

When on earth I close mine eyes,
When to life Thou bidst me rise,
To Thy­self, Thou Friend di­vine,
Take, oh, take this heart of mine.
