The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#449

449. Lord of Our Life, God Whom We Fear

1 Lord of our life, God whom we fear,
Unknown, yet known; unseen, yet near;
Breath of our breath, in Thee we live;
Life of our life, our praise receive.

2 Thine eye detects the sparrow’s fall;
Thy heart of love expands for all;
Our throbbing life is full of Thee,
Throned in Thy vast infinity.

3 Shine in our darkness, Light of light,
Our minds illumine, disperse our night;
Make us responsive to Thy will,
Our souls with all Thy fullness fill.

4 We love Thy Name; we heed Thy rod;
Thy Word our law: O gracious God!
We wait Thy will; on Thee we call:
Our light, our life, our love, our all.

AMEN.
