Text: | Shine on our Souls, Eternal God |
Author: | Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 |
Tune: | NUN DANKET ALL UND BRINGET EHR |
1 Shine on our souls, eternal God!
With rays of beauty shine;
Oh, let Thy favor crown our days,
And their whole course be Thine.
2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee,
Our hands might toil in vain:
Small joy success itself could give,
If Thou Thy love restrain.
3 With Thee let every week begin,
With Thee each day be spent,
For Thee each fleeting hour improved,
Since each by Thee is lent.
4 Thus cheer us through this toilsome road,
Till all our labors cease;
And heaven refresh our weary souls
With everlasting peace.
