172. Light of Life

1 Light of Life, Seraphic Fire,
Love divine, thyself impart;
Ev’ry fainting soul inspire;
Shine in ev’ry drooping heart!

2 Ev’ry mournful sinner cheer;
Scatter all our guilty gloom;
Son of God, appear! appear!
To thy human temples come.

3 Come, in this accepted hour;
Bring thy heav’nly kingdom in;
Fill us with thy glorious power,
Rooting out the love of sin.

4 Nothing more can we require,
We will covet nothing less;
Be thou all our hearts’ desire,
All our joy and all our peace.
