Send Me Light
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Light in the Valley #117 (1898) First Line: Lord, give me light to do Thy work Refrain First Line: Send me light! send me light! Lyrics: 1 Lord, give me light to do Thy work,
For only, Lord, from Thee
Can come the light, by which these eyes
The way of life can see.
Chorus:
Send me light! send me light!
Light along the toilsome way!
Send me light, dear Lord, that I may labor on,
Till I rest in eternal day.
2 The way is narrow, often dark,
With lights and shadows strewn:
I wander oft, and think it Thine,
When walking in my own. [Chorus]
3 Oh, send me light to do Thy work!
More light, more wisdom give;
Then shall I work Thy work indeed,
While on Thine earth I live. [Chorus]
4 The work is Thine, not mine, O Lord;
It is Thy race we run;
Give light! and then shall all I do,
Be well and truly done. [Chorus] Topics: Devotional Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, give me light to do Thy work]
Send Me Light
Lord, Give Me Light To Do Thy work
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11261 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, give me light to do Thy work,
For only, Lord, from Thee
Can come the light, by which these eyes
The way of work can see.
2 In plainest things I daily err,
When walking in the light
The wisdom of this world affords,
However fair and bright.
3 In word, and plan, and deed I err,
When busiest in Thy work;
Beneath the simplest forms of truth
The subtlest errors lurk.
4 The way is narrow, often dark,
With lights and shadows strewn;
I wander oft, and think it Thine,
When walking in my own.
5 Yet pleasant is the work for Thee,
And pleasant is the way;
But Lord, the world is dark, and I
All prone to go astray.
6 Oh, send me light to do Thy work!
More light, more wisdom give!
Then shall I work Thy work indeed,
While on Thine earth I live.
7 So shall success be mine, in spite
Of feebleness in me;
Beyond all disappointment then
And failure I shall be.
8 The work is Thine, not mine, O Lord;
It is Thy race we run;
Give light! and then shall all I do
Be well and truly done. Languages: English Tune Title: LAMBETH

London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barnby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873).
