Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, d. 1153; Robert Campbell Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the anxious heart,
Jesus, Thy suppliants cheer;
Bid Thou the gloom of guilt depart,
And shed Thy sweetness here.
2 O happy he whose breast
Thou makest Thine abode;
Sweet Light that with the pure wilt rest,
For they shall see their God.
3 Brightness of God above,
Unfathomable grace,
Within our hearts implant thy love,
And fix Thy dwelling-place.
4 To lowly minds revealed,
Our Saviour we adore;
Like tribute to the Father yield
And Spirit, evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: GORTON
