375. Grant Us Thy Light

1 Grant us Thy light, that we may know
The wisdom Thou alone canst give;
That truth may guide where'er we go,
And virtue bless where'er we live.

2 Grant us Thy light, that we may see
Where error lurks in human lore,
And turn our seeking minds to Thee,
And love Thy holy word the more.

3 Grant us Thy light, that we may learn
How dead is life from Thee apart;
How sure is joy for all who turn
To Thee an undivided heart.

4 Grant us Thy light, when, soon or late,
All earthly scenes shall pass away,
In Thee to find the open gate
To deathless home and endless day.

Amen.
