Author: John Henry Newman Meter: 6.6.8.6 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. Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany, Sixth Sunday; Fifth Sunday after Trinity; Tenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM
