A-men. 3 May they who err be guided here To find the better way; And they who mourn, and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray. 4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise, While round these hallowed walls the storm Of earth-born passion dies.

Lord, Give Me Light To Do Thy work

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 34 hymnals 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.
