We long to track the footprints That thou thyself hast trod; We long to see the pathway That leads to thee our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If thou thy light vouchsafest, O Sun of righteousness!
