Text: | Renew Me, O Eternal Light |
Author: | Johann F. Ruopp, 1672-1708 |
Translator: | August Crull, 1845-1923 |
Tune: | HERR JESU CHRIST, MEINS |
1 Renew me, O eternal Light,
and let my heart and soul be bright,
illumined with the light of grace
that issues from your holy face.
2 Destroy in me the lust of sin,
from all impureness make me clean.
O grant me pow'r and strength, my God,
to strive against my flesh and blood.
3 Create in me a new heart, Lord,
that gladly I obey your Word.
O let your will be my desire
and with new life my soul inspire.
4 Grant I only you may love
and seek those things which are above
till I behold you face to face,
O Light eternal, through your grace.
