Stealing from the world away,
We are come to seek Thy face;
Kindly meet us, Lord, we pray,
Grant us Thy re­viv­ing grace.

Yonder stars that gild the sky
Shine but with a bor­rowed light:
We, un­less Thy light be nigh,
Wander, wrapped in gloomy night.

Sun of right­eous­ness! dis­pel
All our dark­ness, doubts and fears:
May Thy light with­in us dwell,
Till eter­nal day ap­pears.

Warm our hearts in pray­er and praise,
Lift our ev­ery thought above;
Hear the grate­ful songs we raise,
Fill us with Thy per­fect love.
