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 Saviour, 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. Topics: Blessing; Devotion; Eternity of God; Grace; Holy Spirit; Hope; Light; Prayer for Illimination; Revelation; Salvation; Wisdom; Word of God Used With Tune: JACOB Text Sources: Prayer by Alcuin
