Hymns of Consecration and Faith ‎#386

386. O King of Glory, Hear

1 O King of Glory, hear my humble cry;
Shine Thou upon me from Thy throne on high.
Shed Thou, O Lord, Thy love within my heart,
That Thou and I, O Christ, may never part!

2 May God the Holy Spirit dwell in me,
That all my life a true outshining be.
Lord, write Thy Holy Word upon my mind,
That in Thy truth my feet the path may find.

3 Go Thou before me, lest my footsteps stray,
Light up the track of Thy most holy way;
Speak Thou to me in accents clear and strong,
Lest Satan’s wiles should lure my soul along.

4 Be Thou my reward, keep me from the foe;
Lead me in paths wherein the righteous go:
And where Thou goest will I go with Thee—
Only, O Lord, hide not Thy face from me!

5 Lo! marshalled is the foe and fierce the strife;
O Heavenly Captain, lead me on to life—
The life that has no ending where Thou art!
And write my name, O Lord, upon Thine heart!
