Light of the minds that know him

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #355 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Light of the minds that know him, may Christ be light to mine! My sun in risen splendour, my light of truth divine, my guide in doubt and darkness, my true and living way, my clear light ever shining, my dawn of heaven's day. 2 Life of the souls that love him, may Christ be ours indeed! The living bread from heaven on whom our spirits feed, who died for love of sinners to bear our guilty load, and make of life's brief journey a new Emmaus road. 3 Strength of the wills that serve him, may Christ be strength to me, who stilled the storm and tempest, who calmed the tossing sea, his Spirit's power to move me, his will to master mine, his cross to carry daily and conquer in his sign. 4 May it be ours to know him that we may truly love, and loving, fully serve him as serve the saints above, till in that home of glory with fadeless splendour bright, we serve in perfect freedom our strength, our life, our light.
