God of Light

1God of light and truth and beauty, Hear thy children's earnest cry, Plead we here the tender mercy Of thy love that cannot die.

2For the heart with sorrow laden, For the soul in doubt and fear, For the life by sin o'ershaded, Plead we in thy presence here.

3Let thy light, O Lord, all-searching, Every heart and life explore; From the height of thy pure dwelling, Look on us and love us more.

4Let thy light, O Lord, with power Touch the springs of human thought; Let thy life of love and blessing Into every heart be brought.
