545. Eternal Light, Shine in My Heart

1 Eternal light, shine in my heart;
eternal hope, lift up my eyes;
eternal power, be my support;
eternal wisdom, make me wise.

2 Eternal life, raise me from death;
eternal brightness, help me see;
eternal Spirit, give me breath;
eternal Savior, come to me:

3 Until by your most costly grace,
invited by your holy Word,
at last I come before your face
to know you, my eternal God.
