Shine in my heart, Lord Je­sus,
And lead me in­to light;
Dispel each cloud and sha­dow
And chase away my night;
Shine on my soul, O Je­sus,
And warm me with Thy love,
Oh, help me when I need Thee,
Thy faith­ful­ness to prove.

Shine in my heart, Lord Je­sus;
I need Thee ev­ery day
To help me keep Thy sta­tutes
To walk the nar­row way;
Oh, leave me not, my Sav­ior,
Or else I faint, I fall;
Come in Thy might and help me
When Thou dost hear me call.

Increase my faith, Lord Je­sus,
May Thy dear pre­cious blood
Of sin com­plete­ly cleanse me
And make me pure and good;
Increase my love, O Je­sus,
And bind my heart to Thee,
So when my days are num­bered
Thy smile of love I’ll see.

And when the king of ter­rors
Shall stand across my way,
Oh, help me to go for­ward,
Regardless of his sway:
Thy rod and staff to help me,
My safe­ty will en­sure,
And with the Fa­ther’s fa­vor,
I’ll rest in love secure.
