Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #754 (1908) First Line: Imposture shrinks from light Lyrics: 1. Imposture shrinks from light, And dreads the curious eye; But sacred truths the test invite, They bid us search and try. 2.

Imposture shrinks from light

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #325 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Imposture shrinks from light, And dreads the curious eye: But Christian truths the test invite, They bid us search and try. 2 A meek inquiring mind, Lord, help us to maintain; That growing knowledge we may find, And growing virtue gain. 3 With understanding bless'd, Created to be free, Our faith on man we dare not rest, Subject none but thee. 4 Lord, give the light we need; With soundest knowledge fill; From noxious error guard our creed, From prejudice our will. 5 The truth thou shalt impart, May we with firmness own; Abhorring each evasive art, And fearing thee alone.
